             Re:    First Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Reference is made to the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated
October 12, 2000 between Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) and The
Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”). Capitalized terms used
and not otherwise delivered herein shall have the meanings provided in the
Agreement.

        Pursuant to the request of the Company and Section 17 of the Agreement,
Prudential and the Company hereby agree that the defined term “Material
Subsidiaries” appearing in Schedule B of the Agreement shall be amended by
deleting the existing text of clause (b) thereof in its entirety and
substituting therefor the following:

          “(b) each other Subsidiary of the Company which (i) had revenues
during the four most recently ended fiscal quarters equal to or greater than
5.0% of the consolidated total revenues of the Company and its Subsidiaries
during such period (provided that if the Company and Subsidiaries collectively
own not more than 30% of the outstanding equity, by value, of Nu Skin Malaysia
Holdings, then Nu Skin Malaysia Holdings and its subsidiaries shall not be
deemed Material Subsidiaries by reason of this clause (i) unless their
consolidated revenues during the four most recently ended fiscal quarters
equaled or exceeded 15.0% of the consolidated total revenues of the Company and
its Subsidiaries during such period), or (ii) is an Obligor under any Guarantee
with respect to the Indebtedness of the Company under any Significant Credit
Facility.”
