You should use a tough body scrub to exfoliate your skin in the shower
And after your shower use a light body lotion like Neutrogena’s body lotion or body oil.
If that doesn’t help then go to a dermatologist

Oh God, I know EXACTLY how you feel.. For about two years I had the worst acne.. Back, forehead, chest, eehh.. Sucks so much. ;\
Have you tried any skincare brands such as clinique? That worked quite well for me. I`m talking from own experience and not including nivea, clean&clear, etc, because none of that ever worked for me, and I tried EVERYTHING.
If you think it`s really that bad, you could even go to your doctor and have them prescribe a cream or blotter that you`d have to put on it every day.
And I don`t know if you may feel uncomfortable doing this, but the one thing that cleared mine up in about, two – three weeks, was the pill. You may already know that birth control can help acne, and trust me, it does. I`ve been on estelle for about a year and a few months, and I`ve only had a couple of breakouts around my period (when you take the white/sugar pills). I think you have to have this prescribed by a doctor, depending on where you`re from.
Hope this helps, and it all clears up(:

The stuff you use to keep the acne off your face usually helps to keep it off your chest, dont worry, Ive had the same problem. And if maybe one or two pop up, get some kind of gel that helps reduce the size or whatever so you dont have to worry about it too much :)

use a loafer or watever they’re called with some antiseptic body wash for about a week and you are more than likely going to see a difference. I had this but once i did the above it went away :-)

6 things must be done EVERYDAY to reduce/prevent acne: 1)Wash, Tone, Moisturize Face 2or3 Times 2)Don’t Let Dirty Things Touch Face 3)Eat Healthy Food, Limit Junk Food 4)Take Multi Vitamin Mineral 5)Drink About 64 oz Pure Water 6)Do 20to30 Min Aerobic Exercise. Doing 1 or a few of these will NOT keep skin clear as possible!
Use 3 things on face: Wash, Toner, Moisturizer. Do this at least 2x a day, morning & night (possibly 3rd time, midday, if super oily/sweating). Products that work for one person may not work for another person, so always do small patch test on face for a couple of days to see how skin will react to product! Don’t quickly jump from product to product! Give skin a break before trying new product to prevent irritation! Natural & gentle products are sometimes more effective than acne medicine!
NATURAL & GENTLE: Wash face with warm water & Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar by Johnson & Johnson. Tone face with Witch Hazel (Thayers or Dickinson’s), it reduces bacteria/swelling, minimizes pores, heals acne. Moisturize face with Lily Of The Desert Aloe Vera Gelly, its 99% organic, contains vitamin A, C, E! Aloe vera helps renew skin cells, heals blemishes/scars. Don’t use other brands of aloe, has very little aloe & to much junk in it which can irritate skin!
ACNE MEDICINE: Try 1 of these active ingredients for a period of time to see if skin improves: Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Sulfur, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid. Try acids by Perfect Peel Solutions, Cellbone Technology, Skin Laboratory, Alpha Hydrox/Neoteric Cosmetics. Acid heals acne, cyst, scars!
HOMEMADE REMEDIES: A) Make toner by mixing 1 part Organic Apple Cider Vinegar With The Mother (Try Bragg) with 5 (or more) parts water. Use at least 1 part water! Less water is stronger & more drying. This vinegar kills bacteria, absorbs excess oil, dries out pimples, lightens scars. B) Use oatmeal water like a toner. Mix plain oatmeal with cold water. Only pour the liquid into a bottle. Keep in refrigerator. Make fresh batch everyday! C) Face Mask can be done 1 or 2 times a week. Make mask by mixing plain oatmeal with water. Oatmeal is soothing, absorbs excess oil, makes skin smoother. Wash face with warm water, apply mask. Leave on for 30 min. Rinse off with warm water, Apply toner & moisturizer.
FACE PRODUCTS & MAKEUP: Only use oil free products that won’t clog pores & cause acne! Try Revlon ColorStay Combination/Oily Skin Foundation. Using a Makeup Setting Spray (Skindinavia, Model In A Bottle, Urban Decay, Sephora) will give you shine-free skin all day! Old makeup, makeup tools harbor bacteria, Use fresh makeup, wash/replace tools often! Wash makeup off face before going to bed!
HANDS-HAIR-STUFF: Keep dirt & bacteria at bay to prevent breakouts! Don’t touch face with hands, Don’t let phone nor dirty oily hair touch face, Don’t lean face on objects, Clean glasses often, Wash pillowcase, sheets, blanket, washcloth, towel often. Always wash hands before applying face products!
KEEP MOVING: Aerobic Exercise, Face Massage, Dry Skin Brushing increases circulation & delivery of nutrients to skin cells, encourages good blood supply, helps remove toxins, controls acne breakouts! Do 20to30 min of exercise, everyday or every other day! For outstanding results, do all 3 activities, everyday! When exercising, drink water & immediately take a shower to remove sweat & dirt! For face massage, wash hands & face, apply toner, use aloe vera as massage gel. Do 10 min massage before going to bed. Don’t wash face again, let aloe dry on face. Buy any book on face massage (Ten Minute Facelift by Jennie Harding). Dry Skin Brushing must be done correctly & carefully, read book, Dr. Berkowsky’s Vital Chi Skin Brushing System by Bruce Berkowsky! Never brush delicate face! Take shower after brushing to wash off dead skin & dirt!
DIET & LIFESTYLE: Research has shown that there is a connection between certain kinds of food & acne! Read book The Clear Skin Diet by Alan C. Logan & Valori Treloar! This book has detailed info on what to eat and not to eat to help reduce/prevent acne! Always eat healthy food – fruit, vegetables, lean meat, fiber, beans, wholegrains, foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin A & C. Limit intake of frozen meals, dairy, milk, fat, oil, butter, greasy/fried foods, sugar, candy, salt, dessert, caffeine, coffee, pop, alcohol. Always avoid cigarettes, tobacco, illegal drugs! Its hard to get all vitamins minerals skin needs, so take supplement everyday! Overdosing on vitamins minerals from food or supplements is dangerous! Drinking about 64 oz of pure water everyday improves skin quality, flushes out toxins, delivers nutrients to skin! You can also include 100% Fruit Juice as part of your daily total. Acne can be caused or aggravated by constipation, make sure bow movements are regular! Getting enough sleep helps skin repair itself!
