An expert weighs in on the viral TikTok video that claims eating carrots makes you more tanned
We all know that eating your fruits and veggies is important to help keep your skin looking clear and healthy… but more tanned? Apparently so, according to one viral TikTok video which claimed upping your intake of carrots is the secret to giving yourself a natural-looking glow.
Dr Saniyya currently works as a GP and specialist in dermatology for the NHS, as well as being the founder and medical director of Aesthetica Medical Clinic based in Leeds, so you know you’re in safe hands when it comes to her advice. So, is there any truth to it? Dr Saniyya says: “Carrots and other beta-carotene-rich foods can in fact leave our skin yellow or orange, as we develop a condition called carotenemia. Carotenemia, which is caused by having too much beta-carotene in our blood system.
Dr Saniyya continued: “The excess beta-carotenes in the blood latch onto areas of the body that have thicker skin, like the palms, elbows, soles on our feet, knees and folds around the nose, causing an uneven pigmentation. Skin discoloration will continue to darken and people with lighter skin tones can develop more obvious discoloration than those with darker skin tones.
