Essential Needs of the SkinThe skin’s 10 essential skin care needs can be divided into two categories:
Basic needs—the minimum, daily needs or regimen steps all skin types require.
Advanced needs—met by incorporating additional regimen steps, as needed, to address specific concerns. Starting in our late 20s, our advanced needs steadily increase.
Together, basic needs and advanced needs form the essential needs of the skin.
Essential Needs

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.
www.defyaging.net
Advanced Need: RevitalizeFatigue 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.

History of Galvanic Current
www.defyaging.net
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.
www.defyaging.net
What Is a Galvanic Treatment?
For the past several decades, 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.
www.defyaging.net
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.

Have You Ever Wondered Why Some People Look Younger Than They Really Are?
Nu Skin’s ageLOC™ Technology Has the Answer
www.defyaging.net
The ageLOC™ Discovery
New research at 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.
www.defyaging.net
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
www.defyaging.net
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.

Pre-Treat Gel
Step 1: Pre-Treat Phase
The Galvanic Spa uses a negative charge with the Pre-Treat Gel. As like charges repel each other, the delivery of the negatively charged Pre-Treat Gel is facilitated by the galvanic current. As the purifying ingredients move into the pores, they adhere to impurities such as excess oil and pollutants.
www.defyaging.net
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.
www.defyaging.net
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
www.defyaging.net
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.
b) 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.

www.defyaging.net
Step 2: Treatment Phase
Galvanic ConductorContact
Treatment GelThe positive charge of the current repels the positively charged ingredients in the Treatment Gel and facilitates their delivery into the skin.
The positive charge of the current attracts the negatively charged ingredients that were in the Pre-Treat Gel and pulls these ingredients, along with the impurities that are attached, out of the skin.
www.defyaging.net
Step 2: Energizing Treatment Usage
Apply the entire contents of the Treatment Gel with ageLOC (blue capsule) to face and neck. Select the “two fountain” and ‘three minute” settings. Moisten hand and touch it to the chrome panel on the unit, then touch the conductor head to the skin. As in Step 1, you will hear the unit beep one, two, or three times, which indicates you may begin the treatment. Again, work the gel into the skin gently, always keeping the unit in contact with the skin.

Demonstration
www.defyaging.net
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.
Ask them to work through the Galvanic facial following the motions suggested on 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. If any irritation or discomfort
results, discontinue use.
www.defyaging.net
Half-Face DemonstrationWhile 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
www.defyaging.net
1. Eye Area
Half-Face Demonstration
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.
