Since 1923, when Coco Chanel arrived home from the Cannes\ntanned and glowing, the societal cosmetic craze for a golden skin tone has continued\nto gain popularity. Even before DHA (a chemical derived from sugar cane used as\na main ingredient in tanning products to produce the \u201cbrowning effect\u201d) was\napproved by the Food and Drug Administration as a safe cosmetic ingredient, men\nand women alike used up every idea they could to mimic Coco\u2019s golden, fresh-out-of-the-tropics\nglow, such as olive oil, tea bags, and even meat extract! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these tanning trends have fallen wayside over the\ndecades as a result of ineffectiveness or inconvenience, many people still go\nto great lengths to achieve a great tan. One such extreme that has acquire some\nrecent attention involves beta carotene intake. People are asking whether or\nnot eating more foods with beta carotene, or taking beta carotene supplements, will\nmake them tan. But before you go down a large bundle of carrots or start adding\nsupplements to your diet, there are some facts you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beta Carotene<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Beta carotene is a carotenoid<\/em>, which the body converts into vitamin A. Carotenoids are any of a class of primarily yellow, orange, or red fat-soluble pigments produced by plants, algae, fungi, or bacteria. Basically, carotenoids give plants, fruits, and vegetables (even egg yolks) their color. Beta carotene is found in carrots, as well as, other colored vegetables, like asparagus, apricots, broccoli, grapefruit, peppers, plums, peas, spinach, onions, squash, sweet potatoes, and even ketchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carotenoderma<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Because beta carotene produces color and pigmentation in the\nskin of fruits and vegetables, it has long-time been believed that consuming large\namounts of foods containing beta carotene can make our skin tan. As a result,\nthere have been fads, like drinking high volumes of carrot juice, to achieve a\nfake tan. And although there are no known harmful effects of consuming large\nquantities of carotenoids, there are some unpleasant side effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such side effect is known as Carotenoderma<\/em>, which is when the skin turns yellow-orange. This skin condition doesn\u2019t just discolor the skin that generally tans in the sun, it also turns the palms of hands and feet orange! This is not the tanning result you want, making excessive beta carotene intake ineffective for achieving a quality tan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, there are plenty of foods that contain ample\nquantities of antioxidants, which helps your skin rejuvenate, thus tan better.\nThese include Vitamin C, grape extract, green tea, beta glucan, and kelp. Beta\nglucan is a type of fiber that can be found in wheat, rye, sorghum, barley,\noats, shitake mushrooms, seaweed, and algae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
