Same: I suspect a good omega 3 ratio greatly reduces skin damage with sun. Anecdotally it's worked for me and my wife when we started eating a lot more eggs/red meat and less O-6 products. We haven't used sunscreen in a few years now because of it.

There are some studies that suggest this is true, such as: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7561154/ (note: N = 13)

And Oregon State "Essential Fatty Acids and Skin Health" primer, which goes over what's going on in healthy skin. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/health-disease/skin-health/e...

Their conclusion:

> Supplementation with n-3 fatty acids in particular exerts protection from photodamage and photoaging.

But aren't eggs themselves overall much more an O-6 source than O-3?
