Although supplementing with beta-carotene is generally safe, we recommend consulting your doctor before considering any supplementation. Beta-carotene has been shown to potentially impact lung or thyroid function, so it's important to seek professional advice beforehand.
Can i boof it
I take accutane so i can't take betacarotene. Just saying this here in case someone takes accutane too
Consult a doctor. Smh. They’ll probably right you a script or some bullshit. Never consult a doctor about general health. Be your own advocate
Just a heads up, beta carotene supplements shouldn't be taken if you're a smoker or exposed to asbestos!
"The Beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET) revealed that smokers who took dietary supplements containing beta-carotene, at an average dose of 20 to 30 mg per day, had a significantly higher risk of developing lung cancer. "
But this doesn't happen with naturally obtained beta carotene from foods, in fact the opposite is true.
For anyone wondering, 100g of carrot is apparently 8.285 mg of beta-carotene. So 12-18 mg of beta-carotene per day would be around 145-215 grams of carrot a day
Awesome! This is about 2.5 to 3.5 average sized carrots (est 61grams)
Wonderful
@@sensis3235ty for that
Now that's a lot of carrots 💀
@@sensis3235Can you juice them or need to eat whole? As far as Im concerned majority of vitamins etc still stays with slow press juicing, no way Id eat that much carrot otherwise
I've read so many people who were after the beta carotene glow say that all they got was patchy orange skin, like only their palms or nose got orange
Lol
Yes, it's actually true. It can be mistaken with jaundice, not really attractive.
Medical student
Yeah I had eating problems as a little kid and one thing I could and would eat was carrots and I turned orange and my mom did think it was jaundice but the doctor knew right away it was too many carrots
@@M_SC wow
@@M_SC the doctor understood by your eyes. When it's jaundice, sclera becomes yellow too. When it's carrot, it doesn't
I'm already extremely yellow. If I did this, I'd probably look like I have straight up jaundice.
I dig it
Eat beef
For us North African and Middle Easterns we actually prefer white skin so the whiter the better most of us try to avoid getting a tan at all costs so I would argue that the attractiveness of the skin color depends on the society you’re in
This channel generally refers to western beauty standards, which have been shifting away from fair skin for the past decade
@@sebastiantarazona2698I would say the past few decades but yeah
@@Talitha-hv3ze 1920s is a hundred years ago what are you talking about. I said past few DECADES
@@Talitha-hv3ze 1990s onward women have been obsessed with getting a tan. Which is what? The past few decades
@@sebastiantarazona2698because of migration and forced diversity not because people them selves decided to change
I know this model. She is literally the nicest person ever.
It’s good to eat carrots for certain undertones. That orange skin looks good on some people skin tone like caramel/warm. Think beyonces skin tone. I tried eating enough carrots and my skin was super hydrated and looked lively and golden. I would eat the carrots instead of takin supplements because supplement don’t give u dat hydrated effect dat eating healthy foods do .I do take vitamin C supplements but that won’t make your skin bright or pigmentation go away, that I promise you. Just eat right and it will show in the mirror.😊
Doesn't this just turn your skin orange? It's a side effect that is often something you're warned about, rather than something to be desired.
Orange people bad

@@Nick-qs8mpif you want the vitamin C skin benefits you have apply it to the skin _directly_ as skincare actives, but it does work
@@DrAlchem01 Yep. I use Timeless vitamins C serum and I definitely see the change in skin tone.
Having anemia makes you extremely pale. I had no idea until recently how critically low my iron was. After getting an IV iron supplementation, my face suddenly became more pigmented within days, and apparently after iron IV supplement people start tanning a lot easier
I did this (ate a sweet potato every day) and it just turned my nose and mouth orange. Looked fucked and took a couple months to fade
Hahaha lol
wait u ate sweet potatoes every day and turned orange? 💀💀💀 how is that even possible
thats so funny omg
Yeah and I’m not even particularly pale. I’m a white guy who tans easy.
From now on I’m either keeping a natural tan or playing around with fake tan to limit sun exposure
Sorry but that is HILARIOUS
What about culture that values paleness? I feel like this tip is not universally applicable.
Well you just answered your own question
dont eat carrots and wear sunscreen ig??
India entered the chat lol true we value paleness so much
You can try eating cauliflower and report back to us
It’s works I eat 2-4 carrots per day
raw or cooked?
@@bazhene raw
small or large carrot?
@@danish-sg4km if they’re bigger I usually eat 2-3, if they’re a bit smaller I take around 4
also mangoes, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, cantalope melon, apricots, bell peppers, spinach, seaweed ect
Nah man.. I used to wish I was tan because I thought that's what was "hot" but I've finally come to love my pale skin. I look much younger than friends my age that have spent their whole life tanning getting irreversible sun damage. I'm 24, but have been mistaken for a teenager and even TWEEN, several times. I don't love creeps thinking I look like a kid. But I do appreciate how healthy my skin is.
Exposure to the sun doesn't necessarily equal irreversible damage to cells, you have been brainwashed. While it's true that the sun can damage skin it can only accure if 1. They are too dumb to recognize that their bodies signal when it has had enough sun before damage, 2. Their skin isn't good at healing and easily gets damaged.
Also no you can't call your skin healthy when it's pale and haven't been exposed to enough sunlight, that's the opposite of healthy
@@patrickbateman260 I know my skin dude. I go for runs with my dog outside every day. I just wear a ton of sunscreen if I'm in the sun and wash my face every night. My skin is very healthy.
@@avacadotoast5492 You think it's healthy cause you are living in delusion, sunscreen is mostly composed of very toxic things. the main ingredient usually being alcohol Denat which is very toxic. The skin very easily asborb these things. But good on you for being the average very ignorant consumer that companies love.
Hundred of thousands of years of high sun exposure for humans, I guess by your definition they weren't healthy unlike you who follow a modern trend created by companies to make money.
Furthermore you think washing your face a lot is healthy even do water dehydrates the skin.
Also I highly doubt your body is good at creating Vitamin D, the sunscreen most likely blocks the sunlight from doing anything useful.
Nothing is better than just loving our natural skin color in my opinion. I grow up having a medium skin tone that tans easily and I don't like it because it gives me uneven tone. I don't wish to whiten my skin as many asians do. I'm happy with my skin color, I just want to have an even-toned skin which is so hard to achieve when you live in a place like the Philippines.🎉🎉😮
I don’t know man, why not put the disclaimer in the video itself. Beta-carotene, when supplemented is not at all harmless. Especially taking a look at meta-analysis with smokers, it was shown to increase the risk of lungcancer drastically
That's a really important point re. smokers! Advice for smokers is to specifically avoid beta carotene. I wonder if that's the same for vapers?
My thoughts exactly, I am a smoker and have a sweet potato most days
And here I am wearing long sleeves in summer cuz I want to stay white. 🤣
The "I spend all my days in the office" look 😅
I have accidentally turned orange from too many carrots. It was a riot. I looked like an oompaloa
Just eat carrots, regularly! Don't supplement with pharmaceuticals when there is a healthy, natural alternative!
Yeah my mom fed me too many carrots when I was a toddler and I turned orange. Doctor said: not so many carrots.
Lol
So glad I read the comments, I started taking a beta-carotene supplement only recently and had never heard of these complaints mentioned. Is anyone else here reasonably pale (I’m a Fitzpatrick type 2) and has had success with this? Would a “low and slow” dose avoid patchiness? Interested to hear your experience.
Boof it
I’m also type II and I recently started taking 7,5 mg per day and I can’t say that I see a difference, maybe because it’s only been 2 weeks but I didn’t notice any patchiness either
I'm very pale, almost ghostly naturally. No visible skin undertone, just neutral white. I changed my diet a few years ago to lose weight, I eat at least 100g carrots a day since then and now I'm the color of champagne lol. It really brought out my warm skin undertone. It may look different if your skin has a cool undertone (pinkish instead of yellowish). No patchiness at all, but my face is slightly darker than my body due to sun exposure. Tbh, it looks healthier/fresher than neutral white skin and I got asked if I bleach my teeth (which I don't but they look very white against my warm bright skin). Just try it. If you don't like it, stop eating carrots/squash for 3 months and your back to normal (I did that too last year just to try it)
@@Bia-lm8it this is about the same as me too! Fingers crossed we don’t turn orange 😂 best of luck!
@@minniethriver great to know, thank you for the details! I’m neutral-cool, so I guess we’ll see! How long was it before you noticed a difference? Do you find you can tolerate UV any better now?
Great to know! Thanks ❤
Idk for others, but this does not look good on me. I'm SE Asian, with a warm undertone. I just look like I have jaundice when I eat orange colored food daily. 😂
😅
Thx
I'm an asian with quite deep skin color (yellow undertone), and when I was young I ate tons of carrots. turned out I got super yellow skin like I have jaundice lol. Try not to touch a carrot since
My skin gets gold when I sunburn but I just hate it, this is a Beauty standard in northern countries, but where I live I had to deal with unpleasant comments in my teenage-hood.
Any tips on how to lighten medium skin ton skin
My mother said she fed me so much carrot baby food that I turned into an orange baby.
Lol
Me who's already brown 😐
Anti oxidant and a form of vitamin A.
Eat a sweet potato a few times a week!
And here I'm trying to remove my tan :(
Why
@@jordanscott6204 because the beauty standards are different here..and somewhat uneven skin color
I naturally tan orange and my friend told me my tanned skin ton is ugly... so idk about this
How to get healthy skin,,make a video
It kind of looks like you put snow filter on her
Does astaxanthin do the same?
Eat salmon
Is it possible to get that amount of beta carotene by just snacking on a carrot or two everyday
Just be cautious with beta carotene if you're a smoker ❤
What's the scoop fellow looks-maxers? Are we gonna try it out?
its the TRUMP look
are there any reverse products? how can i whiten my skin?
Just exfoliate your skin and get ur face professionaly cleaned / get chemical peeling (consultate with ur esthetician)
This can even out pigmentation of your skin and make it lighter
@@stefana2171 thanks! but do you know any procedures that can make it fully white? preferably pale? i am tanned caucasian
Um bleach which is bad
@@rottenkittenparvo NAD+ supplements supposedly
@@rottenkittenparvo I mean, look, you can only lighten your skin with exfoliation (removing the surface barrier of the skin which could be darker because of the sun for example) if your skin is dark naturally, there is only a certain limit to which you could make it lighter... Otherwise you could permanently damage it by trying to become pale 🤷♀️ I am nowhere near a professional, just speaking with some experience and logic🤍
carrots ftw
This doesn't work for everyone. Be wary of taking too much, or you'll end up looking like the screaming orange man.
Wait- there are still people who actually think “orange man bad”?? How can your thought process not have evolved since 2016
@@ohwellwhateverr I never said "orange man bad"
@@ohwellwhateverr I mean tbf that was kind've a dark time in US history.
Let's be honest here: Trump being president have inspired a lot of conservative politicians to push to remove the rights of many US citizens including it's female and LGBTQ populations (which make up more than 50% of the total US population in total, and make up more than 70% of the total workforce in the US)
Like, Trump did some things that are commendable. Making animal abuse a felony is something that I personally respect, but it's kind've hard to not think he's bad when he was attempting to ban an entire ethnicity from his country for no apparent reason other than stereotyping, and it's even harder to not feel bitter when thinking about him when you think about how many politicians were inspired to oppress because Trump made it to office.
@@ohwellwhateverrhe is bad cry about it
Asians can't relate since they want to look as pale as vampires 😂😂😂
what about for getting more fair skin?
Stay inside?
Sunblock
Just take care of your skin.
Get your proper nutrition, make sure you're hydrated, use sun-creams and sunblocks as well as body creams and butters. Ontop of that, you can shave your body hair to remove the shadows that they cast, but make sure it isn't friction based because excess friction can also darken your skintone.
What's wrong with being pale? Nothing. Just some westerners people who are obsessed over tans, but a lot of other cultures prefer pale skin. Every skin tone is great as long as the skin is well taken care of. Terrible advice.
it's almost like you didn't watch the video - he said this method is safer than tanning, too much sun can damage your skin and you know people go out to the beach and pools to get a tan because IT'S SUMMER.
there's nothing wrong with being pale💀
The advice is to try and convince people to not tan themselves into skin cancer.
He never said pale was bad, he said tanning was.
Your channel should focus on the "objective" aesthetics and not the subjective one. When I look at the two pictures of the woman I don't see how making her tan suddenly make her more beautiful. It has been proven that our appreciation (or not) for tan is dependent on trends and cultural reasons (for example what a given society associate with pale or tan skin, etc). One proof being that 2 century ago, people preferred pale skin.
My point being it is a fact that this is subjective so no neurons in our brain is wired to be more attracted to tan people. So let's not confuse the viewer and stay focused on the science based facts that are more likely to make a difference.
Also, it would be in your advantage because your channel want to be a little more inclusive and it is obvious than for someone of East Asia for example, the woman shown looks better with a fair skin. So we need to include all views.
You could argue that this is more about our western standards but a little bit of update to finish my rant : the western standards regarding skin tone has been shifting for a few years now. People don't strive to be tan that much nowadays (see the popularity of sunscreen). Celebrities are dropping the super tan look (see Arianna Grande). A lot of people (like me) believe you look best with your natural skin tone and of course it's better it doesn't have irregularities (which by the way is the only science based fact here, because human are naturally attracted to a smooth skin)
So as for your advice reguarding how to treat pigmentation you could also go the other way : wear sunscreen to prevent the pigmentation spots, use some creams to treat the existing one. That also even the skin out
Certainly. I don't like the shift from analysing trends to perpetuating them.
well melanin kind of DOES offer an evolutionary advantage by giving immunity to skin cancer but if stats like that is what makes you attracted to a person.... ur unique ig
@@AugustRx lmao 🤣
There aren't any objective aesthetics though. He could comment on anything and it wouldn't be all inclusive.
I used to consume a lot of this through food and became orange. Definitely not attractive
I THOUGHT THISE WERE FRECKLES
😢
I'll see myself out 🚶🏾♀️
Just go vegan
Good joke 🤣🤣🤣
Cool, thank you. 🙏🏼🩵🩵🫶🏼
I only sit in the sun a bit for vitamin D (i'm autoimmune)
