Story and photos by TRACEY JAN FRANCIS

Arfian Yusof, 35, engineer

Arfian, who told us he had very little time for grooming, said by taking part in the Lab Series Skincare For Men contest he was hoping for a change to his everyday appearance.

"I have worked really hard for the past five years, both outdoors and indoors. I am in dire need of a makeover since I don't have the time to do it myself, and I doubt I ever will. All my free time is currently dedicated to my family, work, competitions and business. My hair has turned white from swimming due to the chemicals in the pool and saltwater from the sea, and I almost never use a brush for my hair anymore, resorting to running my fingers through my hair most of the time!

Arfian Yusof, 35, is an engineer and personal trainer. He's also a proud husband and father and an endurance athlete to boost.

Intending to keep things basic and simple when it comes to his appearance, Arfian says he finds shorts, tees, slippers and a cap the best for him.

"I need this makeover badly, because I know I am much better looking than I am now!" he said in his contest form.

And that was the winning entry that brought Arfian Yusof to the makeover session.

"The session was very relaxing and therapeutic, especially since I knew I was in good hands. I specifically enjoyed the facial treatment. That was my very first experience," Arfian said of his experience.

Saying sayonara to one's moustache can do wonders for image transformation. Arfian emerged with blemish-free skin, clean shaven and sporting a totally fresh and new look.

Arfian went home with his new look and goodies provided by the organisers.
