A Beta-Carotene/Astaxanthin/Lycopene Supplement is a must in your routine.

[GreekGenes]

It does not get any easier than this.

Beta-Carotene gives your skin a healthy yellowish-reddish tone which has been shown to increase your attractiveness.

Study finds that people are attracted to outward signs of health, not actual health

Findings published in the journal Behavioral Ecology reveal that skin with yellow and red pigments is perceived as more attractive in Caucasian males, but this skin coloring does not necessarily signal actual good health.

"Results indicated that, as predicted, beta-carotene supplementation increased overall yellowness and redness of the skin. Compared to the placebo group, post-supplementation faces in the beta-carotene group were more likely to be chosen as more attractive as well as healthier looking over the pre-supplementation faces."

You're not gonna get anywhere near this level of beta-carotene from your diet, a supplement is necessary (around 15mg beta carotene/a day)

Super cheap and super effective.

Extreme water but good reminder overall, I take around 15-30mg beta carotene per day and some additional Astaxanthin sometimes.

copers will say it's unhealthy, but studies have only shown it's unhealthy for chronic smokers.

Interesting, what is the relationship between smoking and beta carotene intake being unhealthy?

i never bothered to read the whole study, but this is the conclusion:

"These findings support the conclusion that supplementation with β-carotene increases the risk of lung cancer in smokers regardless of the tar or nicotine content of cigarettes smoked. Our data suggest that all smokers should continue to avoid β-carotene supplementation."

The Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study demonstrated that β-carotene supplementation increases lung cancer incidence in smokers. Further, cigarettes with higher tar and nicotine content are associated with a higher risk of ...

Do everything other than the beta carotene, beta carotene gives a sickly yellowish color to your skin. Lycopene + astaxanthin mimicks red undertones and gives a natural looking tan, which is deemed attractive

the studies all used beta-carotene instead of lycopene/astaxanthin, so your conclusion is invalid and just anecdotal/hearsay.

Carotenoid skin colouration enhances face and body attractiveness: A cross-cultural study - PubMed

Previous research has indicated that faces with higher levels of skin carotenoid colouration are perceived as healthier and more attractive. However, it is not known whether this preference is specific to faces or reflects a more generalised preference in biological stimuli: for example...

Beta carotene should only be taken in Youre pale white or in the very upper shade of light brown anything below that would make you look worse and astaxanthin only works on people who are white or light brown with red undertones/pink or with no undertones and Lycopene should be taken by everyone the only one which works on everyone

Lycopene helps me.

 

[mtn/zygos]

Lycopene helps me.

Fr I’ve been on 3 and half months 6mg but the first month I was with beta carotene so I literally got a yellow shade cause I’m medium brown so I had to switch one which didn’t have beta carotene and I can say it is effective the colour of my palm is red and my leg it is usually very visible when I’m doing some exercise or during hot weathers but yea for more results I need to take it for atleast 7 months and with that should eat tomatoes too everyday

 

[wsada]

3 months of beta carotene didn't work for me

Have you actually yielded results from Lycopene and astax for red tones? They are the most desirable imo but haven’t seen anyone with actual noticeable results.

Dht is to maintain secondary sexual characteristic not primary, testosterone maintains erections, libido, muscle mass, bone density, masculine features

dht is a completely worthless hormone. Just nukes skin and hair for no positive benefit.
