Why Should Nu Skin be not seen as a Scam

As mentioned throughout this blog, Nu Skin is a publicly traded company in the New York Stock Exchange. In order for any company to be publicly traded, it must have passed innumerable accountability standards.

Nu Skin has a 27-year track record without any findings of illegal or unethical practices.

It continues to span the globe, increasing their markets across continents, and steadily increasing the number of their distributors.

Bottom line…

There is NO Nu Skin Scam. Other than those attacking the MLM industry as a whole, the other people proclaiming a Nu Skin scam are those who joined the business but have failed in the business. It is said to be true that 95-97% of the people who joined an MLM home-based business will fail. But the only reason people fail in this industry is because they lack marketing skills and they give up on the business entirely.

If you’re thinking about joining Nu Skin, you must realize that although it’s not a scam, there’s a probability that you may fail just like the others who cry out and blame the “Nu Skin Scam”.

Your success in Nu Skin will be determined by your ability to brand yourself, generate leads and prospects for your business on a consistent basis, and market your business effectively through one-to-one personal contact.

If you’re serious about being successful in Nu Skin or any MLM home-based business, then it’s vital for you to get the knowledge and skills that allow you to personally sponsor 5-10 reps a month, so that you don’t have to go around screaming “Nu Skin Scam”.

Nu Skin Capitalizes in Anti-aging

Nu Skin is a highly misunderstood business here in the Philippines. Just the notion of "networking" or MLM immediately turn people off without knowing what the business truly aims for, or perhaps, what opportunity they really share to those who are willing to give it a try.

The Nu Skin business primarily capitalizes in aging, and exactly what does aging mean to you? To some, aging may mean a decline in productivity. It may also mean leisure and an enjoyable retirement life to others, or for youngsters, something far beyond their imagination. In any case, aging – at least chronicle aging – is not reversible, and most of us don’t want to lose the youthful skin and healthy body along in the process. So, what does aging mean to me? It is fundamentally a Business Opportunity.

Nu Skin is an anti-aging business and time is on your side. Imagine that you are the owner of the only highway into the city. Each and every car that enters the city must pay you a fee. Wouldn’t it be nice to just sit there and collect money when that is the only route? That is what the anti-aging business means because time is irreversible and it leads people into an aging process whether we like it or not. The market is driving itself onto you, instead of you finding it, developing it, and digging into it. In this case, time is on your side.

And when it comes to a business plan, Nu Skin offers the highest commission pay out amongst all listed network marketing companies. You have the maximum leverage power.

Nu Skin Philippines is about Leadership

Nu Skin enforces leadership both to its corporate structure and its distributors locally and globally. Regardless of what negative attacks are thrown at the company's distributors, Nu Skin management makes sure that the business is always done the right way. And just what these distributors are taught and encouraged to do? They network, discuss business building strategies, collaborate, communicate, and develop personal relationships based on a common interest, success in Nu Skin business as their own.

In this global industry, distributors are surely driven (like in any business) to meet a lot of people. Being an effective leader is a function of whether our values, our intentions, and our actions merit the trust of others. While knowing (a function of competency) and doing (a function of execution) are important, the latter of the two traits is irrelevant if it is performed on a platform void of character. And the real magic happens when a company finds itself in a position to benefit from the value of all three characteristics: values-based leadership combined with high levels of competency, and excellence in execution for an efficient position in the marketplace. This is what distributors of Nu Skin do, and what they aim for. They are leaders who play the fluid nature of the industry in a levelled playing field, they are not out to scam, nor to deceive. They do what all good business leaders shoot for.

A Testament to Nu Skin's Galvanic Spa

Time and again, generation after generation, men and women have tried turning back time to counter aging in countless different ways. In the modern age of technology, along came a device the size of a mobile phone and two facial gels. This may just be the key to fight aging, making your face look firmer and younger. Nu Skin's Galvanic Spa System, one of the company's flagship and top of the line products, will surprise you just as much as users of this product already have been.

Distributors of Galvanic Spa demonstrate the amazing product to their clients who notice the difference right away since the treatment is done only on half of the face. They attest to really seeing and feeling how their eyes and cheeks were lifted, their skin smoother and firmer, in an instant! What the Galvanic Spa does is that it delivers a harmless galvanic current of different charges to the area given treatment to make it wrinkle-free. The two ageLOC facial gels are applied to the face and massaged into the skin for five minutes. It’s based on the principles that like charges repel…therefore delivering more active ingredients into the skin.

Everyone’s complexion will begin to look more healthy and vibrant immediately after the Galvanic Spa treatment that will be more noticeable after two to three days. It is encouraged that people do it twice a week to sustain the effect on the skin. This product has been featured in various international media for several years now, Google it to be sure.

Just Why it Pays in trusting Nu Skin

In 2010, Nu Skin had staggering revenues of US$1.53 billion globally. This is a company that believes the payoff to their direct sellers should always be huge. And fact is, Nu Skin leaders envision the company to be “the most successful direct-selling business in the world by paying more commissions than any other company.”

If you really must know, Nu Skin pays as much as a 43-percent commission to its distributors worldwide. In fact, in 2009 alone, the company paid its many business partners a total of $551 million for all their direct-selling work well done. And in the Philippines, it is reported that as much as P1 billion has already been paid out to about 7,000 distributors in the country since Nu Skin started its operations here in 1998.

Suffice to say, when you’re a Nu Skin “business partner,” Nu Skin believes that becoming a millionaire can readily happen. The rewards that money can buy can be all yours and more. In fact, Nu Skin distributors really get more with what they are able to accomplish in their personal lives beyond just growing their own business. After all, these direct sellers get a hold of some of the best skincare and healthcare products in the world, which they also try and enjoy for themselves. A win-win situation entirely.

What the Corporate People really do behind Nu Skin Philippines

Negative attacks are pointed towards the nature of 15th Flr Octagton Bldg that interpret that the company is allegedly soliciting unprofessional ways of ‘inviting’ and scamming random people. Sure, there are a few rotten tomatoes out there that unfortunately do the business the wrong way, but Nu Skin does ways that these are dealt with accordingly. Such accusations are obviously present in the light of the negative stereotype that the Philippines view the MLM business. It is undeniable though, that other fly by night companies do practice deceit and scam in exchange of short term sales, but Nu Skin and the caliber of business practice and products they have is definitely not part of it. It is unfortunate that some distributors put the company in a bad light, but the fact of it is that the company not only encourages its people to be professional, but requires it explicitly.


Nu Skin’s corporate management, trains and guides their distributors to do business the right and legitimate way…all the way. And they may be responsible for what their sales arm reflects upon them, but it is not fair enough to lay down verdict negatively towards it as a whole. That is my opinion, from what I have seen, experienced, and have personally done.

Nu Skin Southeast Asia’s "Star Potential" Regional Convention and new product launch

More info about this company? No other Direct Selling company in the Philippines celebrates and holds conventions and success seminars like these in the same prestige. Just recently they held the Southeast Asia "Star Potential" Regional Convention. This month, more than 6,000 leaders, distributors and guests gathered to celebrate the success of Nu Skin Stars and the launch of their new anti-aging technology— ageLOC™. They also recognized 47 new Blue Diamond Executives and 9 new 1 Million Dollar Circle Members and one of them is from the Philippines. They also recognized and celebrated with 2 new 5 Million Dollar Circle Members, Lillian and Daniel, Trin and Ji, and Southeast Asia's first 10 Million Dollar Circle Members Rayne and Angela. New product lines such as ageLOC™ Galvanic Spa® and ageLOC™ Transformation Set were highlighted throughout the event. Many stood in line to try the products and buy them.

Nu Skin Southeast Asia is not just the fastest growing region in the Nu Skin world, and they also had the most outstanding group of Distributors gathered as they displayed the "ONE NU SKIN" Spirit in this event. Also through the generosity of their charity arm, the Force for Good Foundation, they were able to raise more than S$217,000 during the event which will help save one child per day and more. Nu Skin's most ambitious goal has yet to become the world's leading direct selling company by generating more income for our distributors than any other company. Through an innovative product line, a generous, compelling business and a great corporate culture.

Nu Skin and Skin care - what do they really do and say

Curious for facts about what kind of company does really operate at the 15th Floor Octagon Bldg or 26th Floor Trafalgar Plaza, that calls you or people you know and leaves you puzzled on what exactly do they do? It's Nu Skin Philippines. And Nu Skin means NUTRITION for the SKIN, simply. It started as a personal care company, and not as a cosmetic company. Basically, it is in the skincare business and they always make it a point that everybody is knowledgeable about their products. And by skin care, Nu Skin Philippines stresses the following ethics for both its customers and distributors. Understand that Nu Skin promotes not just beautiful skin but also long-term healthy skin. It is not intended to be a “quick fix” regimen. When people switch brands, reactions may be natural. A reaction is simply an initial response to beneficial ingredients; just as a meat eater would react to veggies in the beginning. For people who have used oil-based products that clog the pores, this may be a detoxification period to rid the skin of toxins and deep-seated dirt. Now, these are just quick tips on how the company involves itself in the skin care industry.

Some facts on how their distributors address skin issues for their customers before recommending or selling their products:

People who do the Nu Skin business, the distributors, are not dermatologists, and people with extreme conditions are always encouraged to consult physicians as they are not medicinal - only nutritional. They always ask for history of usage of other brands of skin care. People who have been using products containing hydroquinone, antibiotics and steroids should rest their skin for 3-4 weeks before they can use any Nu Skin product for their face.

They never fail to ask if they had recently undergone dermabrasion or other skin peeling treatments (these treatments drastically lower the skin’s natural immunity and will make the skin super-sensitive). They always identify the skin type of their clients since not all products are suitable to all skin types. Nu Skin products are highly concentrated with no fillers, therefore, a small amount is all you need for the entire face (pea size). Too much may be too rich in a humid environment.

This is how detailed and meticulous they are in managing their brands, products, and credibility. Many people misunderstand the Nu Skin business as either a scam or a bogus skin care line of products. But always, by facts and real client / customer testimonials, are proven otherwise.
