Essential Needs of the Skin
 Essential Needs of the Skin

The skin has up to 10 essential

needs for optimal health and
beauty.
Determining and meeting your
skin’s essential needs with a
comprehensive skin care
regimen is critical to
maintaining the healthy
function and beautiful
appearance of the skin.
Synergistic Approach to Skin Care
The best skin care products are designed to work
synergistically to meet the essential needs of the
skin. As they do this, they maintain and enhance
the health and natural beauty of the skin.
 Essential Needs of the Skin

Together, basic needs and advanced

 Advanced Needs

When specific skin concerns exist,

such as discoloration, free radical
damage, and aging, addressing
these concerns is critical for skin
health and beauty.
Incorporating regimen steps to
target the skin’s advanced needs
gives your skin the needed
advantage of advanced skin
care.
 Advanced Need: Revitalize
Fatigue and stress can make the skin appear dull and
lifeless. The essential step revitalize helps restore
vibrancy by increasing circulation to the skin. The
advanced need, revitalize, should be met two to three
times per week.

Galvanic Spa treatments are one way to help revitalize the skin.
Spa Results at Home

Clients who have a

professional galvanic
treatment may spend
from to $90 to $200 per
treatment. These
treatments may be
done once or twice a
month, making it a very
expensive, infrequent,
and inconvenient way
to get the benefits of
galvanic treatment.
Introducing Nu Skin® Galvanic Spa™ II
System
The exclusive Galvanic Spa System
II from Nu Skin is a programmable
device with patented self-adjusting
galvanic current and
interchangeable heads for the face,
scalp, and body.
The Galvanic Spa works
synergistically with specially
formulated products to facilitate
transport of key ingredients—
delivering revitalizing, restorative,
and rejuvenating benefits.
Nu Skin Galvanic Spa System brings
all of the benefits of a spa galvanic
treatment into the ease and comfort
of your own home.
History of Galvanic Current
The History of Galvanic Currents

In 1791, Luigi Galvani was the first

to use electric currents for health
benefits.

The galvanic current, used today

for cosmetic purposes to facilitate
delivery of beneficial ingredients
to the skin, is named after the
Italian scientist.
What Is a Galvanic Treatment?

For more than 50 years, spa and

salon professionals have used
gentle galvanic currents in
customized treatments to refresh
and energize the skin. These
treatments, through a gentle
massaging action, help to focus
cellular energy and enhance
circulation.
How Does a Galvanic Treatment Work?
Like charges repel each other and
opposites attract. By formulating
products to contain a specific
charge and using currents of the
same charge, the currents are able
to “push” the product into the skin,
which facilitates the delivery of key
ingredients.
+
+
With the careful application of
+ + positive and negative galvanic
currents to the face, an
aesthetician is able to perform a
variety of skin treatments.
A negative galvanic current
encourages the transport of water-
soluble mixtures, whereas a
positive galvanic current aids in the
removal of toxins and impurities.

 Have You Ever Wondered Why
Some People Look Younger Than
They Really Are?

Nu Skin’s ageLOC™ Technology Has the Answer

The ageLOC™ Discovery

New research at Purdue

University has recently
revealed a major, previously
hidden source of aging within
each of us: an internal free
radical generator in the
epidermis.
Present on the surface of our
cells, this invisible enemy is
capable of generating skin
damaging free radicals
around the clock; increasing
as we age.
Unlike other free radicals
that come from exposure to
the sun or pollutants, our
genes control its activity.
The ageLOC™ Discovery

This internal free radical

generator can produce free
radicals so quickly that
even antioxidants need
some additional help in
slowing it down.
The unique solution: slow
the production of these skin
damaging free radicals at
their source, and stop the
visible signs of aging before
they start.
The ageLOC™ Discovery

In an additional
breakthrough, Nu Skin
scientists have recently
identified an exclusive
blend of ingredients that
slow production of free
radicals in the epidermis.
Introducing ageLOC—
technology designed to
reduce the visible
signs of aging by
targeting an invisible
source of your aging
appearance.

the purifying ingredients
move into the pores, they
adhere to impurities such
as excess oil and
pollutants.
Step 1: Purifying Pre-Treat Usage

Affix the Face Conductor to the instrument.

After cleansing and toning, apply the entire
contents of the clear Pre-Treat capsule to
clean face and neck.

Select the “one fountain” and “two minute”

settings, moisten your hand, then place the
device against the skin.

Wait for the unit to beep as it adjusts the

current to your skin (You may hear one,
two, or three beeps). Once it beeps, begin
working the gel into the skin in a gentle
movement that follows the contours of the
face and neck, avoiding the eye, eyelid,
and lip areas.
Step 1: Purifying Pre-Treat Usage

Remember, during each step a

moist hand must remain on the
chrome panel for conduction, and
the head must stay in contact with
the skin at all times for the current
to persist.
Every 20 seconds the Galvanic Spa
will offer a single beep indicating
that the current is in contact with
the skin.
When you hear a double beep,
your treatment is complete. Wipe
the excess gel from your face and
continue with the treatment,
nourish, and protect steps of your
skin care regimen.
 Step 1: Pre-Treat
Description of Benefits
a) Removes impurities, allowing pores to breathe.
A negative galvanic current softens and relaxes pores
and dissolves and liquefies sebum to open pores. TEA
cocoyl glutamate, a cleansing agent, purifies the skin.
a) Soothes and conditions the skin.
Marigold is used to soothe and nurture irritated and
inflamed skin. Vanilla is reported to soothe the skin. Sea
kelp is known for being rich in skin nourishing and
conditioning compounds. The skin conditioning effects of
these natural ingredients soothe the skin, leaving it
feeling supple and refreshed.

Demonstration
 Half-Face Demonstration
To show the immediate benefits of the
Galvanic Spa, guide volunteers through a
facial on one side of their face.
Before they begin, have them cleanse and
tone with the Nu Skin® products of choice.
Ask them to apply a full vial of gel to only
half of their face and neck.
Be sure they keep a moist hand in constant
contact with the chrome plate.
If any irritation or Ask them to work through the Galvanic
discomfort results, facial following the motions suggested on
discontinue use. only one side of the face.
The pre-treat step should be done for no
more than two minutes and the treatment
step for no more than three minutes.
Half-Face Demonstration
While performing the demonstration, ask
users to follow the contours of the face
and use a gentle upward motion. Ask
them to avoid the eye, eyelid, and lip
areas of the face.
While doing the half-face facial, talk
through what is happening in each step.
Let the individual or group know what
current is being used, the charge of the
product being used, and the key
ingredients and their benefits to the skin.
At the end, point out the differences
between the treated side and the
untreated side. The side that has been
treated will appear fresher, lifted, and
more vibrant.
Follow with other Nu Skin® skin care
products like Tru Face® Essence Ultra or
Tru Face® Line Corrector.
Suggested Movements
for Half-Face Demo
 Half-Face Demonstration
1. Eye Area
Follow the natural contours around the eye,
starting under the eye and moving up
around the eye gently working the gel into
the skin. Repeat this motion several times.
 

You always want to move upward and

outward with gentle pressure and back
down with light pressure, making sure that
you never pull on the skin. Also, when
you’re working around the eye area, avoid
getting too close to the eye itself. Avoid the
eyelid as well. Simply follow the bone
structure around the eye.
 
 Half-Face Demonstration

2. Mouth Area
Start with the Galvanic above your
lips just under the nose. Move the
unit up and out to the smile line then
move upward and outward toward
the temple. Gently glide the
instrument back above the center of
the lips. Try to avoid the lip tissue
itself. Repeat this movement several
times.
 Half-Face Demonstration

3. Jowl Area
Now we’ll move to the jowls. Start
in the middle of the chin just under
the lips. Move up to those jowl lines
and hold for a few seconds. Then
continue in an upward outward
motion until you reach the ear.
(Don’t actually go over the ear,
stop just before the ear.) Slowly
follow the same pattern back down
to your starting point, and repeat
several times.
