Hi Sarahwr.
A really good question. As we encourage our chests to develop we are placing a new load on the skin of our chests. Many of the protiens used by our skin to keep healthy. Are also used for tissue development. Of course we lose elaticity over time due to damage and the bodies lack of production of certain compounds. I have read where the skin on the female chest is thinner than elswhere. So skin care is important in that area of the body.
A few things that can help your skin gain and keep its elaticity.
Drink plenty of water. We lose water from day to day. Those levels need to be replaced. As to how much water should be drank during the day varies from person to person. Here is a web site that can help you deterimine how much water should be taken on average.

Eat a diet with the proper amounts of fruits and vegetables.
"Fruits and vegetables should be 5-9 servings per day according to the new food pyramid guide. At least two servings of fruit or vegetables should be added to each meal/day to adequately cover the recommendation from the USDA. Another way to fill this quota could be to add one serving of each per meal/day and have three snacks between meals that include fruit or vegetables."

Suplaments can be helpful in maintaining and building up skin elaticity.
Collagen can be made by the body from gelatin, protien, and vitamin C.
So making sure that you are getting enough of these materials will help. See the food chart link below for protien intake.
making sure that you get good amounts af Vitamin A and E will help as well. A good multi vitamin can help.
A topical oil to use on the skin is coconut oil.
"Coconut oil contains predominantly medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) or medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). MCFAs provide your skin with antimicrobial agents that ward off infection and disease, while making connective tissues stronger for that much desired softness and elasticity." "MCFAs also has superb antioxidant activities that neutralize free radicals and slow down aging. Coconut oil is nature's richest source of MCFAs."

Aloa Vera contains all of the amino acids the body needs and it is a superb penetrator and moisturizer for the skin.

Wear sunscreen whenever possible. The skin is basicly one large organ. What effects on part of the skin effects the whole.
When showering. Use warm water rather than hot. Unless you are hydrotheraping. The warm water will open pores better and aloow your body cleanser to do a better job.
So in short.
Take care of your skin externally.
Keep it moisterized, internal and external.
Eat foods and suplaments to ensure that your body has the building materials it needs.
Hope some of this helps. Let us know your results.
Someone resurected the post and I did not look at the date of when it was originaly posted. Back then I would not have had a answer to the question being to new to NBE. Perhaps this information will help someone else.
