Carrots are full of the natural pigment beta-carotene. This pigment is what gives carrots their vibrant orange color.

If you eat an excessive amount of carrots, beta-carotene can enter your bloodstream, giving your skin an orange glow! The medical name for this condition is carotenemia. While it’s not one of the best things to have, it’s generally harmless.
