    Default My skin has a orange hue.

    Lately my skin has been turning pinkish-orange. I have always had pink tones, but not this orange. It kinda looks like I put a really light coat of self tanner on. It is not loud, just a light hue. Is it detox?

    Thanks

    Not sure if this will be much help, but I know someone who, when she eats tons of carrots, the palms of her hands get an orange tinge to them?

    Are you eating a lot of carrots?

    I eat carrots every day in my salad. It is the amount of one carrot. I used to drink lots of orange juice, but not in the past two weeks.

    It is different. Today I noticed my roomates skin is kinda orange too. He is doing the 30 day chalenge with me. Sometimes I will make him a salad. I am sure that is it. If anyone else has any other ideas, let me know.

    Thanks

    When you eat more beta carotene than your body needs, the excess is stored in your tissues and tints your skin a yellowish color. It's called carotenosis. It doesn't cause any problems except for the skin thing, so no worries there...do you eat a lot of cantaloupe, carrots, mangos, or other orange foods?
