Guardian Malaysia which is on a nation-wide quest to find FOUR women, who best fit the bill as ‘The Face of Healthy Beauty’ held its third semi-final round in Shah Alam today for the Central region.
After a
hard-fought semi-finals where each of the 25 shortlisted semi-finalists had to go
through challenges that display their aptitude and personality to deservedly
earn the title ‘The Face of Healthy Beauty’, four finalists emerged to progress
to the Grand Finals to be held in Kuala Lumpur on 27 July 2019.
The FOUR finalists from the Central region were:
1.
Alwizah Al
Yafii Binti Ahmad Kamal
2.
Karyll Chee
Kar-Yee
3.
Nur Aimi
Binti Abdul Ghani
4.
Nurul Ezzaty
Binti Hasbullah
Lawyer and
mother of two teenage boys, Alwizah Al Yafii Binti Ahmad Kamal, 45, from Kuala
Lumpur, was very happy and very surprised to be picked as a finalist.
“I really thought I did not stand a chance against such an accomplished group of semi-finalists who were so beautiful, so young, so confident with so much energy, from different walks of life and who mostly held professional jobs. So this win was really unexpected for me and I still can’t believe it. I’m so happy,” she said.
Alwizah said
she wasn’t a ‘pageant’ person but she was a firm believer on being healthy especially
now when women say they don’t have time to keep healthy because of work
commitments.
“I want to be an ambassador for health and beauty because this is my passion,” she added.
Alwizah who
counts Tun Mahathir as her idol says like Tun she wants to keep on working
until she is in her nineties so keeping healthy is very important. And being the oldest semi-finalist in the
Central region she feels she is on her way to achieving that goal.
“We are not superstars,
movie stars or celebrities. We want to
show that we are normal women with normal problems and yet we can strive to be
healthy and beautiful at the same time.”

personal details on these first four finalists can be found on the contest

The last
semi-finals will be held in Kota Kinabalu Sabah on 7 July.
At the
launch of this nation-wide search in May this year, 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.
“In our books, the Healthy Beauty, is a person who lives life to the fullest in a healthy way, and has a distinctive style and pleasant personality. She is someone with a positive attitude, gives priority to being healthy first; and looks after her physical beauty too.”
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.
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.”
“To achieve our mission, we have trained our team
members to be beauty and health care advisors, while continuing to offer the
latest and most innovative health and beauty products,” Soren added.
