Nu Skin Chairman Recognized With 2009 International Award for Outstanding
Business Performance



PROVO, Utah, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nu Skin Enterprises' (NYSE:
NUS) founder and Chairman of the Board Blake Roney was honored yesterday with
the International Stevie Award as the top chairman of the board by the 2009
International Business Awards. The International Business Awards are the only
global, all-encompassing business awards program honoring great performances
in business. This recognition comes on the heels of the company's largest
revenue year ever.

"As founder and chairman of the board for Nu Skin, Blake Roney has shaped the
foundation and successful direction of this company," said Truman Hunt, Nu
Skin president and chief executive officer. "Nu Skin's 25 years of success
can, in many ways, be attributed to Blake, his values, his abilities as a
businessman and his efforts to improve lives. He represents the company's
mission to 'be a force for good' in the world and has demonstrated his passion
to improve lives by empowering people with innovative products, rewarding
business opportunities and an enriching and uplifting culture."

Roney's achievements include developing an enterprise that established a
legacy of demonstrating its difference through its people, product, culture
and opportunity. The company has grown from a few thousand dollars in start-up
capital to a billion-dollar publicly-traded company with more than 750,000
independent distributors operating in 48 markets.  Nu Skin boasts an
impressive portfolio of skin care and nutritional anti-aging products, and a
direct selling model that attracts both full-time and supplemental income
seekers. In addition, the company has facilitated the donation of more than
155 million meals through its Nourish the Children initiative and has donated
more than $17.5 million to improving lives of children through the Nu Skin
Force for Good Foundation. 

Recipients of International Stevie Award trophies were selected from more than
1,700 entries received from organizations and individuals in more than 30
countries. Nu Skin has previously been honored with three Stevie Awards - two
American Business Awards for Most Innovative Company for the BioPhotonic
Scanner in 2005, and for Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program for the
company's Nourish the Children business initiative in 2007. In 2008, Nu Skin
Korea received an International Business Award for Best Corporate Social
Responsibility Program in Asia.
