Question

If I eat a lot of carrots, will I get tan?

Answer 1

no. carrots do have beta carotene which can help pigment in your skin, but you won't get a tan.

Answer 2

yea, you're gonna get an orangy glow to your body.

its somewhat attractive

Answer 3

i once ate lots and lots of carrots (someone we knew who was growing them gave us absolutely hundreds) in fact it was almost the only thing i ate for about 5 days (if u have never tasted really reaally fresh carrots u totally must they are gorrrrrrgeous).

After a week or so from when i started eating them i noticed my skin was a bit yellow/sallow although not simpson style!

and during those days when i was eating about ten a day my hands and face looked sort of orangey but i think that was some sort of stain from all the juice!

In answer too your question then i think that no it will not make you get a tan, but if u eat enough of them and for long enough then it will have some effect on your skin colour. I have heard that if you eat only carrots it will make the whites of your eyes go yellow but i dont know if this is true as it didnt happen to me.

But remember, a healthy balanced diet is the best!!!!

Answer 4

No way ..

Answer 5

You would have to eat a TON of carrots to change color...like you would have to eat them for every meal and eat plenty of them.  You wouldn't get tan though.  You would take on an orange tinge.  If you want to be orange go right ahead.  I personally wouldn't want to be orange.

Answer 6

why would you think that you would get a tan from eating carrots?  lol

Answer 7

you won't get a tan but your **** will turn orangey.

Answer 8

I dont think thats called a tan. haha. U'll get an orange discolouration of the skin due to overdose of beta carotene..

Answer 9

no...you have to be in the sun, go in a tanning bed, or use tanning lotion...carrots doesn't get you tan

Answer 10

Not a bit. Coz carrots are orange and not tan in color.

Answer 11

I eat lots of carrots and am not a very big person, in fact I am tiny, but anyway my hands have an orange glow and I hate it!

Answer 12

You need to eat pounds a day to turn orange.  To be tan you need to have the right genes and be in the sun or get a fake and bake tan.

Answer 13

LOL no but you will notice your skin turning a lovely shade of orange from the high amount of beta-carotien. If you want a skin cancer free tan try a spray tan done professionally or buy a good sunless tanner at the drugstore. Don't forget to exfoliate before trying a sunless tanner or it will be blotchy and you will look like you have some crazy skin disease.
