PROVO, Utah, June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS) was honored with a "Stevie" for the Most Innovative Company from the 2010 American Business Awards, the only national, all-encompassing awards program honoring great performances in business. This is the second time Nu Skin has been honored with the Most Innovative Company of the Year award. Nu Skin was also named as a finalist for the Best Management Team.

"Innovation is what fuels Nu Skin's success and drives our business by leveraging the company's investment in research and development and new technologies," said Truman Hunt, Nu Skin president and chief executive officer. "The ability to continuously innovate is supported by a solid management team that partners with our sales force in developing advanced anti-aging products and an attractive business opportunity."

By focusing on innovation, Nu Skin has been able to not only weather recent economic storms, but surge ahead with impressive results.

This comprehensive daily skin care regimen is clinically proven to begin improving the appearance of eight signs of aging in as little as seven days.
