Among many other benefits of Astaxanthin, it seems to reduce sunburn. I hate sunscreen but have been wearing long sleeved SPF shirts and a long billed fishing hat with neck cover. As an experiment I've been wearing short sleeved T-shirts this summer and have yet to get any sunburn on my arms. What I don't know is whether Astaxanthin is as effective in preventing skin damage as SPF clothing or sunscreen. I plan to ask my dermatologist that question at my next checkup.

I have significant sun damage from my youth, living in Venice, CA. I put on sun screen every day and stay out of the sun. I still get pre-cancer and regular non-melanoma skin lesions about once every 9 months. I am having a Basel Cell Carcinoma excised from my forehead on Thursday. Routine. I take 15,000IU of Vitamin D3 a day and check my blood levels every 6 months.

People who work outdoors actually have lower incidences of melanoma, despite spending significantly more time in the sun than office workers. Here is a fascinating discussion with Jimmy Dore. Sun exposure appears to reduce melanoma (the deadly form of skin cancer) Sun exposure appears to increase carcinoma, but carcinoma is easily treatable and almost never metastasizes. The dermatology profession is radically overtreating carcinomas due to sheer greed. Tom
