We've probably all been told a million times that being healthy is important. Not only is living a healthy lifestyle crucial for your body's health, but it also has a lot to do with your appearance, which — as beauty enthusiasts — we take pride in. We may skimp on carbs, focus on healthier options and limit ourselves to only one drink when we're out with friends, but sometimes our skin just won't stay as clean and clear as we want it to.

Speaking of, did you know that your skin is your body's largest organ? It sounds crazy to think of your skin as a living, working organ, but the truth is that we need to take as much care of it as we do other important organs like our heart and lungs. We're always honing in on new ways to keep our skin looking and feeling healthy, radiant and in its best condition. One thing we're currently seeing and hearing a ton about in the buzzy world of beauty is phytonutrients. We talked to Dr. Karin Hermoni, Head of Science & Nutrition at Lycored, to find out what the heck phytonutrients are and why they're so important.
