Today we have a review on an anti-ageing product from Handan Lewis, a fully qualified skin therapist and 

owner of the Mind & Body Clinic. The clinic is dedicated to non-invasive anti-ageing facial & body treatments 

for men and women of all ages. For details on Handan’s work please see her contact info below:

Having my own skin clinic I am often victim to all sorts of new and wonderful creams, potions and gadgets 

claiming to do all sorts of things. When I say victim I do not use the term lightly as I like to try everything on 

myself first, well it would be rude not to. After all, results are what we are after, right?

So when somebody approached me with this little hand held galvanic device claiming it could roll back the years to 

the day when it was firm, toned, stretch mark free, cellulite free, sagging free, and wait for it give me inch loss, 

I thought yeah right, but hey if it would help my arms stop flapping I thought what have I got to loose apart from 

£393. Having spent over 30 times this amount on other salon equipment, I just had to try this claimed magic 

gadget for the sake of all things anti-ageing and skin. It is designed for home use, however it can also be used in 

a salon environment, and probably one of the stars best kept secrets…let me explain Brad Pitt among others is 

their claim to fame!

My experience

To review the results I tried it on only one of my arms so I had something to compare it with. It was frankly so 
simple to use (you have to wonder whether it’s doing anything). I could not feel anything at all however 
proceeded to continue the circling motion indicated and then I repeated the treatment again within 48 hours 
to the same area and…

As if by magic just simply holding my arms up in the mirror there was a visible and quite measurable difference. 
So I thought I would give the wings a bit of a flap and again was left quite impressed with the lack of flapping 
on the treated arm compared to the untreated arm! So a magic gadget that actually really truly works and probably 
for the first time does actually do MORE than it says on the box.

Since then I have added the range to my salon treatments and skin care range and joined the distributors’ team.

I have had visible results. My friend bought one for her baby bulge and apart from being secretly addicted to her little purse sized machine and gel, swears by it as the only thing that has helped her to see her six pack again.

How does it work?

Many factors are at play that effect how our skin looks and feels.  For example, prolonged exposure to sunlight/UV 
rays, smoking, lack of exercise and sudden weight loss are all factors that affect the condition of our skin which
can lead to sagging skin, uneven skin texture, loss of moisture, lack of contour and cellulite.

The Galvanic Body Spa gently pulsates leaving your skin highly receptive to the absorption of Nu Skin’s 
advanced ageLOC anti-ageing ingredients deep into the skin. The vibrating effect of the Galvanic Body Spa 
stimulates the movement of fluid to purify and refresh the skin allowing more nutrients to be delivered to the skin 
cells and breaks down fatty deposits improving the signs of ageing skin at a cellular level.

Effective use

As your skin is waterproof (and what a lot of packaging neglects to point out) irrespective of your creams and 
cost, YOUR skin will only (when applied directly) absorb 10% of the product. The difference with combining 
products with galvanic current is that your skin will effectively receive 10 times more product/nutrients than 
if you were to apply directly to the skins surface.

The specific body shaping gel carries a negative charge and combined with the negative charge emanated 
via the galvanic current from the machine it helps repel the product through the skin. The body spa is 
therefore only effective when used in combination with the body shaping gel.

Target Areas

The combination is used to tighten, slim and tone the skins appearance on problems and areas such as cellulite, 
stretch marks, varicose veins, bingo wings, buttocks, thighs, stomach, neck, and sun damaged skin.

Usage

The majority of people start to see a visible improvement after a few treatments but for optimal results I 
recommend using on target area is 3 times per week with the best cumulative results seen between 8-12 weeks.

Nu Skin’s $977M Growth Earns Special Bravo Growth Award Based on Revenue

Nu Skin’s $977M Growth Earns Special Bravo Growth Award Based on Revenue.

When a young company grows by half its size in a single year, the industry salutes in appreciation. When the company is 30 years old, does business globally and increases revenue by 49 percent—$977 million in a single year—it’s jaw-dropping. But that’s exactly what Nu Skin did in 2013, catching the attention of Direct Selling News and earning it a special recognition, the Bravo Growth Award Based on Revenue.

The publicly traded company achieved record growth with 2013 revenue of $3.18 billion, earnings per share of $5.94, and growth in every region where it operates. Active distributors grew 41.1 percent. Nu Skin predicts the growth will continue, though likely not at the 2013 pace, and it already has. In its earnings report in March, the company continued its trend, reporting record revenue of $671.1 million, a 24 percent improvement over the prior-year period, noting that it will soon roll out its ageLOC® TR90™ weight-management system and will introduce the ageLOC Tru Face Essence Ultra skin care serum in the Greater China region.
Nu Skin Chief Financial Officer Ritch Wood attributed the phenomenal results to a series of initiatives the company has taken over the past few years that culminated in an outstanding 2013:

• A business transformation project that focused three separate business opportunities into one and also condensed three management teams into one;


• An innovative product launch process, which the company calls its Limited Time Offer. The LTO introduces a new product to distributors ahead of the official launch, allowing them to get personal experience with it, as well as to align their teams around the product;


• Strong initial sales of its ageLOC® anti-aging products, in particular ageLOC® TR90™, a breakthrough weight-management and body shaping system, which it unveiled to sales leaders in May 2013;


• Growth in every region, which includes 53 countries.

“We feel fortunate to be in a situation where many things came together,” Wood says. “It wasn’t really just last year. Most of the work happened over the last several years to create growth in 2013. We now have a product platform that has appeal to customers; we’ve done a lot of work in China to establish the foundation for that market to grow; we’ve created alignment with our sales leaders; and we have a team of employees who understand our vision since our business transformation project a few years ago. Last year it all came together nicely. Now we must take this base and continue to grow the business even more.”

Global Growth

Wood notes that Nu Skin revenues grew in every market. It earned impressive growth rates in China and Southeast Asia, but also in the Americas, where it grew 30 percent, and in Europe, an area where it grew 7 percent despite the region’s economic challenges.
“A lot of times it seems you have good growth in one or two regions but you have challenges in others. In 2013 every region grew,” he says.
Wood observed that growth in the Americas region sets the pace and expectation for foreign markets, and he credits the company’s global sales leaders for driving success worldwide.
“We have a group of leaders in the United States who we look to for global growth,” Wood says. “Our U.S. leaders are the founding leaders of the company, and they continue to be an important group that helps us build success around the world.” He adds, “Our success is only as good as their success.”
Nu Skin’s global growth has demanded physical growth, as well, and in the second half of the year the company opened its new Innovation Center and expanded U.S. headquarters in Provo, Utah, and this year opened the Greater China regional headquarters and Innovation Park in Shanghai. The expanded U.S. headquarters campus includes more than 300,000 total square feet and features five research lab areas, a state-of-the-art data center, environmentally friendly design, and modern office and meeting spaces. The heart of the Innovation Center is Nu Skin’s Center for Anti-Aging Research, which will be the company’s global center for innovation and scientific discovery.

“The more growth we have, the more good we can do. We’re as proud of what we accomplish with being a force for good as we are of our sales success.”
—Ritch Wood, Chief Financial Officer, Nu Skin

The Nu Skin Greater China Innovation Park is situated in the heart of Shanghai’s Comprehensive Industrial Development Zone and is the largest overseas investment project in the 30-year history of Nu Skin. Covering an area of over 38,000 square meters, the park is as large as six football fields. In an effort to protect the surrounding environment, the park was designed under the standard of U.S. Green Building Council LEED gold certification. It uses environmentally friendly building materials and includes green space covering more than 28 percent of the total area. The building also includes a lounge, fitness center, basketball court, and areas for other recreational activities, providing employees with a great work environment.

Nu Skin’s Innovation Center includes an atrium with this indoor fountain as a focal point, which was constructed from 26 tons of Virginia Mist stone.

Growing for Good

The company’s biannual global sales convention also broke records, attracting 15,000 attendees from more than 50 countries. A highlight of the global convention was the fundraising gala for the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation, a nonprofit charity with a mission to improve the lives of children by offering hope for a life free from disease, illiteracy and poverty. Fundraising from the gala and convention reached more than $2.2 million in donations for the Foundation.
“The more growth we have, the more good we can do,” Wood says. “Our focus is to continue to make a difference in the world. We’re as proud of what we accomplish with being a force for good as we are of our sales success. We want to keep on changing people’s lives and having a positive influence in the world. We hope that everyone who touches our business—distributors, customers, employees, people who benefit from our foundation—is better for it.”

The company is unable at this time to predict the timing and outcome of the review. Given this review and the possibility that various components of its annual report on Form 10-K could be impacted, the company’s board of directors had determined that it could not file its annual report by the March 3 due date. The company currently expects that the audit committee will have made sufficient progress in its review to enable the company to file its annual report by the March 18 extended filing deadline.
Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. also announced its board of directors has declared a 15 percent increase in its quarterly cash dividend to 35 cents per share, compared to the previous dividend of 30 cents per share. The dividend is payable on March 26, 2014, to stockholders of record on March 14, 2014. The increase would move the company’s annual dividend to $1.38 per share, subject to regular quarterly determination by the board of directors, compared to $1.20 per share for 2013.

Welcome to NuSkin... Company History

Blake Roney, Sandie Tillotson and Steve Lund decided to build a company that would combine innovative personal care products with ingredients that subscribed to the philosophy of “all of the good, none of the bad” and a generous business opportunity that would attract high-calibre salespeople.

It did not take long for people to discover the difference of Nu Skin®’s unique business opportunity and one-of-a-kind products. In fact, the first product order was so popular that it was sold out in a matter of hours. People loved the products so much that many even brought their own bottles and jars for the founders to fill with the unique formulas using an ordinary spoon.

 Since that time, Nu Skin® has demonstrated a distinctively different approach to business. It began with an innovative concept of premium quality products and a uniquely compelling global business opportunity.

Combined with the immovable commitment of the Distributor leaders, this exceptional business model has shaped the company into a more than US$1 billion enterprise that still remains true to its core values.

Today, Nu Skin® is differentiated by its ability to demonstrate that they truly have the best people, product, culture and opportunity in the direct sales, skin care and wellness industries. As one of the premier anti-ageing companies, Nu Skin® sets the standard.
