NU SKIN CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS AT ANNUAL FORCE FOR GOOD DAY

PROVO, Utah—June 20, 2016—Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. is celebrating 20 years of being a force for good by participating in a number of humanitarian projects focused on improving the lives of children as part of the company’s 13th annual Force for Good Day.

Today, we celebrate all that has come from the past 20 years and look forward to doing even more in the future.”
