L'oreal Youth Code Skin Care Line


I recently received some new products from L'oreal called The Youth Code as part of the Vogue Influencer Network. I have used Loreal products in the past and I am always open to anything that will help me look younger and fresher! L'oreal products are always priced reasonably and I can find them easily at most of my favorite local pharmacies.

The Youth Code line is designed to restore skin to its most beautiful, vibrant looking state. The Youth Code was inspired by 10+ years of international gene research and it is the newest line from Loreal. I was kind of excited since I just got back from vacation and I have been trying to catch up ever since. I needed something to make my skin look more vibrant.

The Youth Code Serum Intense is a silk-like serum that really hydrates your skin. It totally does. My skin feels great before I even put the Day/Night cream over it. The Youth Code Eye Cream comes with a metal applicator that makes your eyes feel cooled and refreshed when you are putting it on. It really helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles which are always a problem for me. The under eye area has been looking alot better since I starting using this last week! Youth Code Day/Night Cream is very light,it almost has a whipped consistency. You can use just a bit and it really smooths the face. All the items are very reasonable in the $25 and under range too! The Youth Code line is now available--give it a try.
