Lakmé is an Indian brand of cosmetics, owned by Hindustan Unilever and run by CEO pushkaraj shenai. Lakme started as a 100% subsidiary of Tata Oil Mills (Tomco), part of the Tata Group; it was named after the French opera Lakmé, which itself is the French form of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, also renowned for her beauty. Indian cosmet Lakme was started in 1952, famously because the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was concerned that Indian women were spending precious foreign exchange on beauty products, and personally requested JRD Tata to manufacture them in India[citation needed]. Simone Tata joined the company as director, and went on to become its chairman[citation needed]. In 1996 Tata sold off their stakes in Lakmé Lever to HLL, for Rs 200 Crore[1](45 million US$), and went on to create Trent and Westside. Even today, when most multinational beauty products are available in India, Lakme still occupies a special place in the hearts of Indian women.
Lately so many have you been asking about the âglowâ on my skin. Well, hereâs the secret! Few weeks back I was invited by Lakme Salon to try out their new facial â the Youth Infinity Sculpting Facial. As facials go, it was a lovely relaxing experience and it gave my skin so much clarity and glow! If youâve seen my looks around the later half of Dec, youâd see that my skin did look quite nice and glowy!
The service is a 90 minute facial ritual and is priced at Rs 2400.
