The development of keloids may be hereditary, so the best way to reduce your likelihood of developing a keloid is to avoid certain scar-inducing procedures. For example, many people will develop keloids after received a piercing or tattoo. Another way you can prevent the development of keloids, is by avoiding any type of elected or cosmetic surgery. This is especially true if you are prone to keloids. If surgery is medically required, talk with your doctor in advance so that steps can be taken to treat the scar tissue with steroid injections before a keloid develops. Severe acne can also cause scarring and may lead to the development of keloids. If you suffer from acne, make sure to treat it immediately. This will reduce the likelihood that scars will develop. You should also avoid popping or squeezing pimples because this can damage the skin and cause scarring.

Summary: Avoid tattoos and piercings. Avoid elected cosmetic surgery. Resist the temptation to pop or squeeze pimples.

The more stimulation that a breast gets, the more milk it will produce, and the larger it will grow. Uneven breasts commonly occur if you baby prefers to feed on one breast over the other, or if you tend to stick to one breast for nursing. Begin every nursing with the smaller breast if possible. You should notice your breasts starting to balance out after a few days, as the smaller breast begins to produce more milk. Imbalanced and uneven breasts are very common in the first couple of weeks after you give birth, and especially if you are breastfeeding. This is very normal and usually nothing to worry about, but if you are particularly concerned, consult your healthcare professional. Breast pumps are known for increasing breast milk supply, which will make your smaller breast larger. Make sure that you pump the larger breast from time to time too, in order to keep up its milk supply. Pumping can also be useful if your baby has a preference for the smaller breast, and won't feed on the other side. Try and use each breast the same amount as the other, otherwise the larger one might ended up becoming the smaller one. This will help your breasts to produce similar amounts of milk, and to stay as even as possible. Remembering which breast you start with during each breastfeeding session is a good way to remember to switch it up. Nursing with both breasts equally will help them to even out, but only if your baby agrees as well! Try out a few different nursing positions, as a more comfortable position for your baby could help them to nurse. Another option for breastfeeding with the baby's less preferred breast is to offer it to them when they are tired. This is because they will be less aware of their surroundings, and hopefully more willing to try out the other side.

Summary: Feed using the smaller breast more often. Use a breast pump on the smaller breast after nursing. Alternate between each breast for feeding once they become even. Help your baby to feed with their less preferred breast.

Antioxidants can help prevent signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Common ones one include Vitamin C, retinol, tea extracts, grape seed extracts, and niacinamide. While they are not antioxidants, alpha-hydroxy acids, such as glycolic acid and lactic acid, can help reduce the appearance of fine lines. If you want to reduce hyperpigmentation or dark spots on your face, choose ingredients that will lighten these areas. Some products that may be effective include: Kojic acid Vitamin C Vitamin E Arbutin Niacinamide Licorice Root Extract Dull skin is a common side effect of dry or mature skin. If you are looking for more of a glow, try to find products that contain Vitamin C, arbutin, niacinamide, and mulberry extract. These products are more effective when used together, so feel free to mix and match. To avoid flares, choose a mild cleanser and moisturizer. You should avoid products that contain alcohol, menthol, peppermint, eucalyptus oil, or witch hazel. For the best treatment, talk to a doctor about getting a prescription to treat your condition. If you are struggling to find products that work for your skin, visit a dermatologist. They can help you identify your skin type while pinpointing the underlying issues that may be causing your concerns. They may even give you prescriptions that can help.
Summary: Look for antioxidants to reduce signs of aging. Treat uneven skin tones with lightening ingredients. Use brightening products if you have dull skin. Choose mild products if you have rosacea. Visit a dermatologist.
