What changed after The Body Shop's rescue — and what still works for saving money
The Body Shop entered administration in early 2024, closing 75 UK stores before being rescued by Auréa Group in September 2024. The online store has continued trading throughout, and current promotions remain active — but the high-street footprint is now much smaller, so click-and-collect availability depends heavily on where you live.
What hasn't changed: the Love Your Body Club remains the single best way to save. Members get 20% off everything as a recurring perk, which beats virtually every standalone voucher code. If you buy from The Body Shop more than once a quarter, joining the club costs less than the discount you'd forgo.
Multi-buy deals that are actually worth it
The Body Shop's multi-buy promotions rotate frequently, but a few run often enough to plan around:
| Offer | Details | Per-unit value |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Body Yogurts for £20 | Normally £14 each — saves £8 per pair | £10 each vs £14 RRP |
| 2 Shower Gels 250ml for £12 | Normally £5 each — saves £2 total, but the 250ml size makes this a strong per-ml deal | 2.4p per ml vs 3p+ RRP |
| 25% off routines | Applies to curated skincare and bodycare bundles | Varies — best on sets over £30 |
| Free 250ml Ginger Shampoo | When you spend £40+ | Worth ~£5 — effectively 12.5% back on a £40 spend |
| Free £5 gift card | With orders over £25 (periodic offer) | Effective 20% on a £25 order |
The 2-for-£20 Body Yogurt deal is the most reliable repeat offer and delivers the best per-ml savings on a product most people repurchase anyway.
Who else gets a discount — students, NHS, and key workers
15% off via Student Beans. Verify your student status once, then the discount applies at checkout. Does not stack with Love Your Body Club pricing.
Blue Light Card holders get periodic discounts, typically 15–20%. Check the Blue Light Card app for current offer codes — these change monthly.
Sign up for the email list and receive a one-time discount code, usually 15% off your first order. Works sitewide with no minimum spend.
Paid membership (around £15/year) gives 20% off everything, a free birthday gift, and early access to sales. Pays for itself on a single £75 order.
When to buy — sale timing and seasonal offers
The Body Shop runs predictable sale events throughout the year. The best savings come during three windows:
- Boxing Day Sale (26 Dec – mid-Jan): 50–70% off selected lines. This is the deepest discount period and the best time to stock up on body butters and shower gels.
- Spring and Summer Sales (May–July): Usually 30–40% off seasonal ranges and gift sets. Not as deep as Boxing Day but good for skincare routines.
- Black Friday: Typically 25% sitewide plus a free gift over £40. Members get an additional 20% on top.
Outside sale periods, the Love Your Body Club's 20% member discount is the most consistent saving. If you're a member, there's rarely a reason to wait for a voucher code — the member price is already equal to or better than most publicly available codes.
