I don't think it's about a "tan" really, but more of a healthy warm undertone to the skin. This video is needlessly condescending.

I love the science talk! Please don't ever stop educating us.

I completely disagree. People who regularly juice carrots have amazing glowing skin! They definitely look tan with a little bit of an orange tone. They look vibrant and healthy!

This yellow- orange skin happened to a friend of mine by accident when she was eating too many carrots for awhile. She panicked thinking it was a liver problem! Funny that its now a trend. She was fascinated that you could turn yourself orange once she found out what it was.

If you're really into poorly applied orange fake tan or looking like a liver disease patient, I suppose it "works."

So, title is clickbait and TikTok hasn’t lost it, and in fact it will change your skin color.

My skin is paper white due to albinism i drink 330 ml pure carrot juice every 2nd day and color my hair darkblond people asking me if i go tanning it looks so natural a little yellowish with healthy redish bronz color i do this for 6 months now and i love it

I remember in the 90’s my aunt was very into juicing and drank huge amounts of carrot juice everyday. She did eventually get a yellow-orange color to her skin, as you said, most notably on her palms. It was definitely not a tan color and not a look she was going for. She’s a redhead with a fair completion which made it stand out even more.

You see this in babies who eat a lot of carrots 🥕 I once asked my friend who had a little baby why he looked "tan"! 😂

My husband has a disorder that impacts his bilirubin count, so eating too many carrots can actually cause his skin color to change. But this is essentially jaundice, not a tan...

[paulaingrid]

It really works and looks good. I drank for the last three’s month almost daily carrot juice. I didn’t notice anything but then I took pictures with some girlfriends and usually we have the same skin complexion but now mine seems more tanned. And now I see it better especially on my face…

There is a study that found people with the slight “orange glow” are perceived as more healthy and attractive. However, that’s the amount you get just from having fresh vegetables in the diet. I guess that explains why the kids who only eat potato chips, look flat and sickly.

If that’s you, eating 3 raw carrots a day is actually excellent beauty advice! lol

[physicianskitchen]

I can't believe it but this made me crave a carrot 🤣 but social media has an enormous power on people's behaviour, thank you for utilizing it in a benevolent way

[cunawarit]

I disagree. Having known people who have done this for real, it does show as a healthy looking glow and it doesn't look strange at all.

[americansweetheart]

Short answer no, long answer yes all in one sentence? Really?

[gardenwonder]

I love juicing for the glow. You could try it. Might help.

[teresapaskell]

When I was young there was a tan tablet available over the counter. That offered a faint orange ‘glow’🤮

[juancarlospolanco]

I refuse to even install that app, I’ll hold on to my brain cells. Happy Tuesday!

Tiktok is a whole other very weird world. 🥴

[kathysharp]

Spinach, sweet potato, bell peppers (any color), etc...just eat wfpb and you will look better. Diversify what you eat, not just carrots.
