Skin and beta carotene

[its_over]

I did two experiments using beta carotene, astaxanthin and lycopene to achieve a carotenoid glow in my skin
1st experiment: 18 mg of beta carotene/day. Little to no results. Skin was slightly more orange and that’s it
2nd experiment: 24mg of astaxanthin/day and 50mg of lycopene/day. Took 2 months or so for my skin to start changing color, with a much more uniform and natural looking tan. Definitely recommend. Also they removed almost all the impurities in my skin (imagine spending all your money on useless skincare products)

Based, did the asta and lycopene make skin more reddish? Thats what i would want

You should've taken about 60 mg bc for a week and then ~15 mg for maintenance after.

absolutely, the skin difference is insane honestly (considering that I’m very pale to begin with)

I’m lowering a bit the dosage to find out the sweet spot

Vitamin A is fat soluble, so a loading phase is required in order to maintain ideal levels: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1709242/

These aren't just my words, this BOTB guide says it too: https://looksmax.org/threads/guide-on-achieving-model-tier-skin.430153/ (Check the skin tone darkness section)

[distance decay]

Yes lycopene is based

 

[flippasav]

I think you might have gone a bit too high (dosages) but other than that nice work taking them

 

[its_over]

Yes lycopene is based

by far the best supplement that I’ve ever taken along with vitamin D
