PETALING JAYA: Guardian Malaysia has brought back its popular nationwide contest to search for The Face of Healthy Beauty (TFHB).
Guardian Health and Beauty Sdn Bhd marketing head Angela Teo said: “Our first search for Guardian’s TFHB in 2019 was such a spectacular success in that we managed to find so many outstanding women in Malaysia that epitomise our vision of a healthy beauty.
“Unfortunately, due to the pandemic we had to postpone doing another event until this year and we are very excited about it.
“The search for Guardian’s TFHB is not a beauty contest,” Teo highlighted.
She explained, “This campaign celebrates healthy beauty and encourages everyone to embrace their uniqueness both inside and out, their inner and outer physical beauty.
“The Healthy Beauty is an individual who is positive, dynamic, gentle yet passionate, fun, happy, loving, and inspiring with a confidence built from feeling good about themselves holistically.”
She added: “They also want to inspire others to live a healthy and beautiful life, doing things that make them feel happy and fulfilling.”
Touted as the first-of-its-kind in Malaysia, the search for TFHB is a nationwide quest to find four individuals, who best fit the bill as ‘The Face of Healthy Beauty’ to be Guardian’s healthy beauty ambassadors.
Teo shared that the Healthy Beauty concept is at the core of Guardian’s brand philosophy and that this concept was borne from a consumer insight that good health is the foundation of true beauty.
“We found out that our customers believe that true beauty comes from a healthy physical and mental state of being,” Teo pointed out.
“And this trend has also made Guardian evolve from being a health and beauty store into a brand with a mission to inspire our customers to live a healthy and beautiful life.
“To achieve this mission, our sales staff have been trained to be beauty and health care advisors, while our stores continue to offer the latest and most innovative health and beauty products from around the world at the best value to our customers.”

> One year contract with Guardian
