Flaxseeds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Containing phenolic antioxidants and anti-aging components, flaxseeds stimulate collagen production and promote cell turnover. This ensures that the skin looks firm and youthful, and is devoid of fine lines and wrinkles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Wheat_Bran\"><\/span><strong>9. Wheat Bran<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An excellent source of prebiotics, the outer layer of wheat grain is wheat bran, which contains a special type of fiber made of arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (AXOS), zinc and selenium that help nourish the skin, prevent sun damage, tackle acne, and help prevent skin cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Chicory_Root\"><\/span><strong>10.
