Item 7.01         Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 3, 2006, Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (“the Company”) issued a press release regarding financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. In this press release, the Company reported a net loss of $12.8 million and a net loss per share of $.18, including the impact of an impairment charge of $23.0 million related to a non-cash write-down of the first generation Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner units. Subsequently, in connection with the preparation of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that the Company filed on May 10, 2006, upon further review of its impairment analysis, the Company determined that the Scanner impairment charge should be changed to $19.0 million instead of the $23.0 million previously reported. As a result, in the Form 10-Q the Company reported a net loss of $10.3 million and a net loss per share of $.15. The Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the Form 10-Q are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated by reference.
