Himalaya Herbals: Facial Treat

The herbal brand has created a Guinness World Record for conducting the maximum number of facials simultaneously.

Himalaya Herbal recently conducted a day long activation where it gave 286 students a complete facial - starting with a cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine. This was followed by a facial session using Himalaya Purifying Neem facial kit.

The record was created using an interactive workshop as a platform where students from various colleges in Mumbai participated in a pampering facial session.

On the back of this activation, the brand entered Guinness World Record "for most people receiving a facial simultaneously". The record of 286 facials was certified at Shri Rang Mandir Grounds by Fortuna Burke Guinness Adjudicator.

The activity was an initiative by the brand to engage with teenagers across the country and create awareness on skin care.

Several renowned celebrities such as Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor, beauty expert Veena Desai and others were also present.

Beauty expert, Veena Desai moderated the activity and interacted with the audience explaining the step-by-step facial routine. She also shared interesting tips on skin care and demonstrated the process of cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

Himalaya Herbal is a brand from the stable of The Himalaya Drug Company, a herbal health and personal care company.
