Guardian "The Face of Healthy Beauty" Search

Guardian Malaysia has launched a nation-wide quest to find FOUR women, who best fit the bill as‘The Face of Healthy Beauty’ to be its brand ambassadors. 

Soren Lauridsen, CEO, South East Asia, Guardian Health And Beauty Sdn Bhd said : “This search for ‘The Face of Healthy Beauty’ is NOT a Beauty contest.

Each winner will sign a one-year contract as Guardian Brand Ambassador that comes with RM10,000 cash, RM10,000 Guardian vouchers, and RM5,000 each for them to give to a charity organization of their choice. They will be featured on the Cover of Guardian’s Brand Catalogues and other collaterals and will receive products from participating sponsors .

Soren explains 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 discovered that our customers believe that true beauty comes from a healthy physical and mental state of being,” Soren said.

By focusing on this consumer need since its very first store at The Weld 52 years ago, Guardian, has become the store to go to for health and beauty needs. He said: “While these basic needs have remained, consumption trends have evolved driven by changing lifestyles and economic circumstances. Health and beauty are no longer as clearly defined as they used to be. They have been intertwined. Guardian too, has evolved. From being the health and beauty store, our mission now is to inspire our customers to live a healthy and beautiful life.”
