I live in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, the Salt Lake Temple, and a company called Nu Skin. Actually, Nu Skin is headquartered in Provo, Utah. (40 minutes from Salt Lake City) Here is the crazy thing. I have lived in Utah for most of my life. I have never been approached by a Nu Skin representative about being a part of their company. I am either not well-liked, or have that "anti-MLM" look all over my face. Nu Skin is seen everywhere here in Utah. (Even the Utah Jazz dancers are called the Nu Skin Dancers)

I actually approached a friend who's entire family is in Nu Skin. My wife wanted a Galvanic Spa treatment to see if it really works. Our good friend and a couple of her family members gave us the entire Nu Skin presentation. My wife loves the Galvanic Spa. She came into this treatment very skeptical. She claims after one treatment, (on half of her face) that she noticed a big improvement. Her skin was firmer without feeling tight and dry. Her deep forehead wrinkles were noticeably absent but returned a few days later.

Nu Skin uses breakthrough technology called age-LOC in their most recent products. Scientists have discovered internal reasons of aging in the human body. They call these gene damaging sources as super markers. The science of age-LOC technology is an amazing story. You may want to google it and do your own research. The Jury is still out on how effective these products are. Here is my review of Nu Skin:

Pros:

1. Nu Skin has been a company since 1984. Longevity is an important element in making sure it will be around tomorrow.

2. The company has gone public and has had a significant increase in stock market value.

3. The Galvanic Spa has created a major interest in the wellness industry. Baby boomers and younger generations are going to gravitate to this product in the masses. Both men and women are buying this product solely for its youthful benefits.

4. Sources of mine have said that to make money in Nu Skin, you had to open up a new country outside of the U.S. The new line of age-LOC is bringing back a renewed interest to the North American Continent.

5. Over 400 products to choose from.

Cons:

1. Like most MLM companies, recruiting friends and family are heavily suggested. I have found that most people including your friends and family do not have the marketing background to build their down-line. The attrition rate has been reported to be as high as 97%. (Your chances of being a sea turtle in shark infested waters are better.)

2. There is a monthly auto-ship to maintain, including the supplement gels needed for the Galvanic Spa treatment. This may be the primary reason new recruits in MLM only have a 63 day retention rate. Most customers (buyers) are recruits.

As a third party reviewer, I believe Nu Skin has some attractive features. My concerns of recruiting friends and family need to be addressed. There are ways to share your company with like-minded individuals in the world market. It's called the Internet and Social Media my friends.
