Mumbai, November 29, 2014: The Himalaya Drug Company, India’s leading herbal health and personal care company, entered the Guinness World Record “for most people receiving a facial simultaneously”.

Himalaya’s Pure Skin Facial is an on-going initiative by the brand to engage with teenagers across the country and create awareness on skin care.

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. The record of 286 facials was certified at Shri Rang Mandir Grounds by Guinness Adjudicator, Ms. Fortuna Burke.

He adds, “As a leading face care brand in the country, we believe it’s our responsibility to create awareness for healthy skin and help young girls and boys address common skin problems. The message is clearly about educating young adults on the importance of a good skin care routine. And of course, the Guinness World Record is a great platform to celebrate our leadership position in face cleansing!”

Vineet Jain, General Manager Marketing – Consumer Products Division, The Himalaya Drug Company, says, “Himalaya’s Pure Skin Facial has been a continuous endeavor by the brand to engage with college students across the country to educate them about the importance of a regular skin care routine.
