Aldi is offering outdoor workers FREE Lacura sun cream, as the sun is set to continue to shine for the next couple of weeks. To enter, all outside workers need to do is email here with their name and job description.

While the scorching weather is a welcome relief from what has been described as the ‘wettest summer on record’,  research by skin care charities shows that 67% of people find the cost of SPF too high, saying they would use it more if it was 20% cheaper. Data also shows that 1 in 10 people are not using sunscreen because it’s too expensive.

In a bid to alleviate cost concerns and protect skin against UV rays, Aldi is giving 1,000 outdoor workers a £5 voucher to spend on award-winning lotion including its Lacura Moisturising SPF30 Lotion (£2.49, 200ml), recently awarded a ‘Great Value’ accreditation by consumer champion, Which? – beating other brands costing three times as much.

Aldi’s £2.49 lotion was praised by Natalie Hitchins, Which? Head of Home Products and Services, for being a ‘top quality sunscreen’ available ‘at a time when shoppers need affordable options.’

With Aldi’s five-star UVA-rated sun care range starting from just £1.35, winners will be able to choose from the cream of the crop. All outdoor workers need to do is email with their name and job description.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK:

“High quality sun care products should be a right, not a privilege, which is why we’re proud to offer quality SPF products at unbeatable prices. It’s great to see the sun is finally making an appearance but with that comes a need to keep our skin safe. We hope this gesture will bring a smile to the brilliant British outside workforce, while protecting against harmful UV rays.”
