10 Ways to Prevent  CHESTNE

Not to be confused with Chesney, chestne is the irritating breakout we sometimes get along our chest, clavicle, and overall decolletage. It’s especially infuriating in the warmer months, when we’re ready to wear delicate tanks and bikinis and show some skin. We want to feel clear, smooth, and confident rocking our favorite summer looks, so what gives with chest pimples?

It turns out, the skin on our chest is not so crazy-different from the skin on our face. It is thinner than a lot of our body surface area, it’s exposed to the sun and the elements often, it can become oily or dry, and it’s touched more often than the rest of our body.

That being said, we should make sure to treat it with the same loving attention we give our faces, especially if we’re prone to breakouts. Heed these tips for a clear, sexy summer.

Wash your neck and chest when you wash your face.

Best Skin Ever Sea Buckthorn Cleansing Oil

Give yourself a little extra pump of your favorite cleanser, and work downward. This will require you to either be wearing a tank top or wash your face topless, but in most settings that shouldn’t be an issue. Give yourself a proper cleanse, make sure to rinse thoroughly, and pat to dry.

Carry cleansing cloths with you.

Makeup Remover Wipes

For those who tend to be on the oily or sweaty side, it’s a smart idea to carry facial cleansing cloths around in your bag throughout hot days, especially when wearing synthetic fabrics. A midday swipe should do the trick, just make sure to reapply sunscreen if outside with an exposed decolletage!

Shower after your workouts.

This is crucial for all acne sufferers, of every kind. Sweat is one of the body’s major modes of detoxification, and letting those toxins sit on the skin for an extended period of time is not a good call for sensitive, acne-prone pores. Make sure to save time for a shower, even if it’s only a quick rinse, and wash your problem areas with soap or cleanser.

Dry brush with delicate bristles for lymph drainage.

Exfoliating Body Dry Brush

Many of our biggest lymph drainage centers live near our chest. There are two right at the clavicle flanking our shoulders, two under the ears, and two under each arm. Dry brushing can help flush out stagnant fluids carrying toxins and keep us hydrated and de-puffed. A healthy lymphatic system can mean healthier, detoxified skin from the inside out.

Mask all the way down.

Kora Organics

Price: $18
Turmeric Brightening Mask

Facial masks aren’t just for the face. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and calming, enzymes lightly exfoliate away dead skin and impurities for a deep cleanse. Apply this mask to the neck and chest once a week to clear and brighten things up.

Use a balancing toner.

Poosh x Alkaglam

Price: $95
Carbon Purifying Mist

Continuing on the same riff of treating your chest like your face, a refreshing toner that hydrates and mineralizes instead of dries will calm, soothe, and moisten the area while also deflecting harmful bacteria, nurturing the skin’s protective biome, and keeping the pH balance right where it should be.

Use calming moisture.

Surya

Price: $88
Calming Body Oil

When breakouts are an issue, use a calming body oil to balance the dosha and keep aggravation in check. This blend in nourishing and soothing while keeping that top layer moist and resilient. It helps to promote lymphatic flow while increasing blood flow to the skin cells for quicker healing.

Make sure to detox from the inside out.

Exfoliate regularly.

C and the Moon

Price: $64
Malibu Made body Scrub

Exfoliation is key, but we don’t want to overdo it, especially in this area. Use a super moisturizing, melty brown sugar scrub to whisk away debris and dirt and reveal that glowing décolleté.

Use fresh linens.

Resore

Price: $35
Face Towel

Wash your sheets, wash your clothes, and by all means, wash your towels. Always use a clean towel when drying acne-prone or sensitive areas like the chest and face. It can be easy to assume your towels are clean because you typically only use them on your clean body, but they immediately harbor bacteria from being damp, or ourselves not being perfectly squeaky clean, especially when you use these towels to dry your hands several times a day. Yikes. Have a fresh supply on hand for single (or double, max) use.
