           OFF-SHORE SECURITIES SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT


Nu Skin Asia Pacific, Inc.
75 West Center Street
Provo, Utah 84601
USA

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          This Offshore Securities Subscription Agreement (the
"Subscription Agreement") is one of a limited number of such
subscriptions for shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par
value per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of Nu Skin Asia
Pacific, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").  Execution
of this Subscription Agreement by the undersigned purchaser (the
"Purchaser") shall constitute an offer by the Purchaser to
subscribe for the Shares specified in paragraph 1 below.  The
Company shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion
to reject such offer for any reason whatsoever, or by executing a
copy of this Subscription Agreement, to accept the Purchaser's
offer.  If such offer is accepted, the Company will return an
executed copy of this Subscription Agreement to the Purchaser.

          1.   Subscription.  The Purchaser hereby tenders this
Subscription Agreement and applies for the purchase of Three
Thousand One Hundred Forty-Nine (3,149) shares of the Company s
Class A Common Stock (the "Shares").  The Purchaser encloses
payment for the full amount of the purchase price for the Shares
made payable to "Nu Skin Asia Pacific, Inc."  The purchase price
for each Share shall be U.S. Twenty-Three Dollars and no/100
(U.S. $23.00), for an aggregate purchase price for the Shares of
U.S. Seventy Two Thousand Four Hundred Twenty-Seven (U.S.
$72,427).

          2.   Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. 
In order to induce the Company to accept this Subscription
Agreement, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to, and
covenants with, the Company as follows:

               A.   The Purchaser is not a U.S. Person
(as that term is defined under Regulation S promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")).
                    
____________________

 See Appendix "A" attached hereto for the definitions of
     "Distributor", "U.S. Person" and "United States" under
     Regulation S.


               B.   At the time the buy order for the Shares was
originated, the Purchaser was outside the United States and is
outside of the United States as of the date of the execution and
delivery of this Subscription Agreement.  In addition, at the
time the buy order for the Shares was originated, the Purchaser
was outside of the Country of Taiwan and the Purchaser did not
make the offer for the Shares from the Country of Taiwan and this
transaction did not take place in and was not negotiated from or
within the Country of Taiwan.  Moreover, this Subscription
Agreement was not delivered to the Purchaser or executed by the
Purchaser in the Country of Taiwan.

               C.   The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for
the Purchaser's own account and not on behalf of any U.S. Person,
and the sale of the Shares has not been pre-arranged with the
Purchaser in the United States or in the Country of Taiwan.

               D.   To the best knowledge of the Purchaser, each
Distributor (as that term is defined in Regulation S) that is
participating in the offering of the Shares, if any, has agreed
that all offers and sales of the Shares prior to the expiration
of a period commencing on the date of the closing of the offering
(the "Closing") and ending forty (40) days thereafter shall only
be made in compliance with the safe harbor provisions contained
in Regulation S, or pursuant to registration of the Shares under
the 1933 Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from
registration under the 1933 Act.

               E.   The Purchaser represents and warrants and
hereby agrees that all offers and sales of the Shares prior to
the expiration of a period commencing on the Closing and ending
forty (40) days thereafter shall only be made in compliance with
the safe harbor provisions contained in Regulation S or pursuant
to registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act or pursuant to
an exemption from registration or to such an exemption from
registration under the 1933 Act and that thereafter all offers
and sales in the United States or to U.S. Persons shall be made
only pursuant to such a registration or pursuant to an exemption
from registration.

               F.   The Purchaser acknowledges and understands
that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and
may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S.
Persons during a period commencing on the Closing and ending
forty (40) days thereafter unless the Shares are registered under
the 1933 Act or an exemption from the registration requirements
of the 1933 Act is available.

               G.   The Purchaser is not an officer, director or
"Affiliate" (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the 1933
Act) of the Company.

               H.   The Purchaser (and/or the Purchaser's
purchaser representative, if any) has had a reasonable
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the
Company, or a person or persons acting on its behalf, concerning
the Company and the terms and conditions of this offering, and
all such questions, if any, have been answered to the full
satisfaction of the Purchaser, none of which answers is in any
way inconsistent with the Prospectus dated November 21, 1996 (the
"Prospectus") that was delivered to the Purchaser in connection
with this transaction; and the Purchaser understands that the
Company shall provide the Purchaser with an opportunity to ask
additional questions of and receive answers (all of which
information shall be limited to information in the public realm)
from the Company concerning the Company during the period that
the Purchaser owns any of the Shares;

               I.   The Purchaser has such knowledge and
expertise in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved in an
investment in the Shares and is purchasing the Shares for
investment, for the Purchaser's own account and not with a view
towards resale or distribution.

               J.   Except as set forth in the Prospectus, a copy
of which the Purchaser acknowledges has been received and
carefully read and understood, no representations or warranties,
oral or otherwise, have been made to the Purchaser by the Company
or any officer, director, agent, employee or affiliate of the
Company, and in entering into this transaction the Purchaser is
not relying upon any information, other than the Prospectus and
the results of the Purchaser's independent investigation of the
Company and its operations.

               K.   The Purchaser understands that the Shares are
being offered and sold to the Purchaser in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of the United
States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is
relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to
determine the applicability of such exemptions and the
suitability of the Purchaser to purchase and acquire the Shares.

               L.   The Purchaser has full power and authority to
execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to perform
the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder; this Subscription
Agreement is a legally binding obligation of the Purchaser in
accordance with its terms and conditions.

               M.   The Purchaser hereby acknowledges receipt of
a copy of the Prospectus, which Prospectus has been carefully
read and understood by the Purchaser.

               N.   All of the representations and warranties
provided by the Purchaser to the Company herein, as well as all
other information provided to the Company in connection with this
transaction, are true and correct in all respects as of the date
hereof.

               O.   The Purchaser does not intend or anticipate
that this investment be a source of income and the Purchaser is
able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in
the Shares and at the present time can afford a complete loss of
such investment.

               P.   The address set forth below is the true and
correct residence of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser has no
present intention of becoming a resident of the United States or
of any other jurisdiction.

               Q.   The Purchaser understands that the Company
will have full access to the monies paid for the Shares upon
acceptance of this Subscription Agreement and the execution
hereof by the Company.  The purchase price for the Shares will
not be escrowed and no events or conditions need to be satisfied
or met before the Company can accept and close on the Purchaser's
subscription.

          3.   Non-Binding Until Accepted.  The Purchaser
understands that this Subscription Agreement is not binding upon
the Company until the Company accepts it, which acceptance is at
the sole and absolute discretion of the Company and will be
evidenced by the Company's execution of this Subscription
Agreement where indicated below.  This Subscription Agreement
shall be null and void if the Company does not timely accept it
as aforesaid.

          4.   Indemnification.  The Purchaser agrees to
indemnify the Company and its officers, directors and agents
(collectively, the "Indemnitees"), and to hold the Indemnitees
harmless from and against any and all losses, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses that they or any of them may
sustain or incur in connection with the breach by the Purchaser
of any representation, warranty, covenant or acknowledgment made
by the Purchaser herein.
