Nu Skin Enterprises Launches Flagship Products in Key Asian Markets

PROVO, Utah, June 4, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NUS) launched its newest skin care treatments and nutritional products to top business leaders in key Asian regions with nearly 20,000 independent Nu Skin distributors attending sell-out conventions in Tokyo and Hong Kong. In addition to the new products, the company introduced its new business initiatives, global brand positioning and refreshed corporate identity.

"Both conventions featured new products and sales training to help our distributors to be successful and clearly demonstrate their difference," said Truman Hunt, president and chief executive officer. "We focus a tremendous amount of energy in recognizing our distributors for their achievements and making these events extraordinary experiences for them."

Japan Convention
Distributors throughout Japan traveled to Tokyo's Yokohama Arena in anticipation of the company's 15th Anniversary event, May 30-31. Nu Skin Enterprises introduced several key products to the market, including Pharmanex(R) Lifepak(R) nano daily vitamin supplement, Nu Skin(R) Tru Face(TM) Essence Plus skin serum and the Galvanic Spa(R) System II EX.
"The Japan management team hosted an impressive convention for distributors," commented Hunt. "The new products and brand initiatives provide good ammunition for Japanese distributors to further develop their business and successfully differentiate Nu Skin's people, product, culture and opportunity in the market."

Greater China and Southeast Asia Convention
Earlier in the month, more than 8,000 attended the Greater China and Southeast Asia Regional Convention, May 14-16 at the AsiaWorld Expo in Hong Kong. Distributors were enthusiastic about the launch of key products, including the popular Galvanic Spa(R) System II EX home spa system.

"A major highlight of the convention was the generosity of distributors who helped those affected by the Sichuan earthquake in Mainland China," said Hunt. "Convention participants responded to the tragedy by spontaneously organizing a donation campaign. Distributors and employees raised more than $500,000 in cash. The corporation and the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation also contributed cash and food valued at more than $900,000 with the total one day contribution reaching approximately $1.43 million."

Since the devastating earthquake in China's Sichuan province, Nu Skin and its distributors from around the world have teamed up to donate more than 3.6 million meals, valued at more than $2.5 million, to feed earthquake victims in China through the company's Nourish the Children initiative. Since the inception of the initiative in 2002, Nu Skin distributors and employees have provided more than 120 million meals to starving or malnourished children and families around the world.
