To get your hands on one of the brand’s lavender-scented body lotions, all you need to do is head to your local Lush store during opening hours to pick up a pot – but there’s a catch. To get your free body lotion, you have to be wearing pyjamas.

Once you’ve donned your favourite cosy PJs, simply head into your local participating Lush shop and speak to a member of the team, who’ll help you claim your complimentary Sleepy Body Lotion. The offer includes all participating UK stores excluding Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and you’ll need to be over the age of 18 to claim your free sleep-inducing lotion.

The lavender-infused body lotion went viral when it first launched back in 2017, with shoppers raving about it on social media. It’s packed full of lavender oil, tonka absolute and ylang ylang oil, all of which help you drift off, and you simply need to rub into into your skin before heading to bed to help get a good night’s sleep.

As well as helping your sleep routine, the lotion is also great for your skin thanks to its oat milk, organic illipe butter and Fairtrade organic cocoa butter which soothe, moisturise and soften your skin.

Lush isn’t the only brand getting involved in World Sleep Day, with This Works also giving shoppers the chance to save £5 on its beloved sleep spray. The best-selling Deep Sleep Pillow Spray usually costs £21, but you can now snap it up for £18 here until Sunday March 17.
