Marlene Tavares is a Cape Verdean woman born in Portugal and now based in the United Kingdom.
Her journey has been shaped by different countries, cultures and new beginnings, but her roots have always remained at the heart of who she is.
With professional experience in beauty, wellness, spa treatments and specialist foot care, Marlene has dedicated her career to helping people feel cared for, confident and comfortable in their own skin. As the owner of her own spa, she understands that beauty is not simply about appearance. It is also about care, wellbeing and the way a woman feels within herself.
Neny Cosmetic was born from this passion and from Marlene’s desire to create a body care experience that reflects beauty, heritage and inner strength.
Her story inspired the Rooted in Strength campaign: a celebration of every woman who has built, grown and evolved without forgetting where she comes from.
Because our roots do not hold us back. They give us the strength to grow.
