Being new to Nu Skin products, I wanted to know more about the products. Especially since I was now a Nu Skin distributor!
Last month, I enrolled in the "Experience Nu Skin ADR" program. It's a six-month program that sends me a collection of Nu Skin favorites each month.
In my first package (Month 1), I was sent: AP-24 Whitening Toothpaste, AP-24 Mouthwash, AP-24 Breath Spray, Body Bar, Epoch Sole Solution, and LifePak Nano.
Eagerly, like a kid on Christmas Day, I opened the package and had to try all the products! Why not?
Nu Skin claims that "their line of health care products provide anti-plaque protection while leaving a clean, fresh-mouth feeling that lasts all day". With the toothpaste and mouthwash, I'm at odds. I've talked to people who swear by it. These two products are OK, I'm just used to a toothpaste like Colgate that bubbles while brushing and a mouthwash that's like Listerine. I'm losing all faith, though. I have a dentist appointment in a couple of days and I'll see if my dentist notices anything different. However, I did like the breath spray. It's minty and refreshing. I'm not sure about the toothbrushes. I'm still partial to my Oral B.
The second item I tried was the Body Bar. It was fabulous! I can't say enough things about how much I love the feel of it on my skin and the fact that there isn't any soap residue left over. Plus, it's very gentle on my skin. I prefer using this to my daily face wash. Nu Skin states that "this is a soap-free cleanser that is great for the entire family. It gently washed away dirt and impurities, leaving skin fresh and clean. The grapefruit scent and the skin soothing benefits of aloe vera keep this bar a staple in so many bathrooms." I concur about the body bar taking away dirt and impurities. It's great at night when I take off my makeup. No makeup is left behind!
The third item was the Epoch Sole Solution. Nu Skin writes that "it is a moisturizer that restores smooth, healthy looking feet. Allspice berry is an ethnobotanical cream that targets the underlying cause of chronically dry, cracked feet." My sister-in-law tried this product on her dry and cracked feet. She loves it! This is a product that stands by what it claims. Pretty awesome!
The last item in my month one package was the LifePak Nano vitamins. Nu Skin says that "it is a nutritional anti-again system that nourishes and protects cells, tissues, and organs against the ravages of aging." Nu Skin recommends that you take one packet of pills twice a day. I found that to be cumbersome, having to constantly swallow pills. I prefer to drink my vitamins from the G3 juice packets.
With my month two package, I received: the Liquid Body Lufra, Liquid Body Bar, Perennial Intense Body Moisturizer, Enhancer Skin Conditioning Gel, Sunright 30 Body Block, Sunright Lip Balm, Tegreen 97, and AI/E 10.
The Liquid Body Lufra is a nice body buffer that "has finely ground walnut shells to buff out rough spots on elbows, backs of arms, knees, heels, and all over (Nu Skin)." It's very nice, yet I'm not in love with it like I am with the body bar, though.
Speaking of the body bar, I received the liquid version of it. Same great smell of grapefruit, same great feeling of the body bar...only in a liquid form. Fabulous!
The Perennial Intense Body Moisturizer is "an all-over moisturizer that protects skin, provides resiliency and increases cellular durability (Nu Skin)." The is a light weight moisturizer that is fragrance-free and does leave your skin quenched. Not bad.
The Enhancer Skin Conditioning Gel contains panthenol and aloe vera. Nu Skin claims that " it soothes the skin and prevents moisture loss. It is perfect for oily skin or can be used as a soothing gel for dry or sensitive skin. This cooling gel also feels great on sore, chapped, or sunburned skin." I must say that it is great on sun burnt skin, although it does leave a residue like pure aloe vera, once it has dried on the skin.
The Sunright 30 Body Block "provides protection against UVA/UVB radiation while helping improve the skin's appearance", as stated by Nu Skin. The product does go on smoothly and is fragrance-free. I do like this sunblock and it came right in time for summer!
The Sunright Lip Balm "protects your lips from skin-again UV rays with SPF 15 and SeaLastin, to supplement collagen and elastin" says Nu Skin. They are right. This is a nice lip balm. I tend to forget to use, but it's great to have on hand when I'm out in the sun for a prolonged amount of time.
The Tegreen 97 has "catechins that are found naturally in green tea to support healthy cell function and help protect cell structures, including DNA, by neutralizing potentially harmful free radicals. Each capsule has the equivalent of approximately seven cups of green tea, but id 99.5% caffeine free, making it one of the most potent antioxidant supplements on the market" claims Nu Skin. I am taking two capsules a day. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel. My cells may be looking fabulous but I'm on the fence about this product.
The last product of my month two package was the AI/E 10. Nu Skin states that "it supports healthy immune cell communication by providing a concentrate of immune system messengers, including interlueukins, interferon, and other memory transfer factors." Again, I'm on the fence about taking this product. I'm sure my cells are loving this, I'm just not feeling any different.
Like all products, there are some you love and some you are indifferent about. I still believe in the effectiveness of Nu Skin products. Each product speaks to people in different ways. For example, ageLoc Vitality. Nu Skin states that "it helps you feel more like you did when you were young by targeting the sources of age-related vitality loss." I felt nothing when I took them, yet others felt more energized and had retention of memory.
If you are interested in trying any of these products, let me know. Buying through me will get you a 30% discount!
Most times, I'm at a drug store picking up lotion (face and body) and toner. My go to toner is Witch Hazel. It's inexpensive with very little alcohol, which means it's not harsh on the skin.
