Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I don't remember why but that sounds right. Perhaps you're not metabolizing it properly. Too much Vit. A is dangerous. Not sure that Vit. A would do that, depends on what it's made from. Couldn't hurt to stop for a while and see what happens.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Have you been juicing with carrots. I developed orangey skin from that and it's quite common for people to develope that. If not, not sure, perhaps a drug you are taking. If there is anything you have been taking, that you aren't required to take, could experiment by going off it. Could it be yellowish. Yellowish would be toxic liver and you would stop doing anything that would creat 'die off' symptoms until it clears. --- In , Michal <michalvictoria@...> wrote: > > Why are my face, hands and feet orange? > I'm not exaggerating the orange-ness.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 not alone but my multivitamin has Vit A...maybe i should cut that out for a couple of weeks as well..but then why just my face, hands and feet? > Why are my face, hands and feet orange? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 The amount you would get in a multivitamin wouldn't cause orange skin. Try 'wrong diagnosis' website. Put in orange skin and see what you get. Also read any inserts that come with medication to see if it could be a side affect of any medicines you take. http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/orange_skin.htm --- In , Michal <michalvictoria@...> wrote: > > not alone but my multivitamin has Vit A...maybe i should cut that out for a couple of weeks as well..but then why just my face, hands and feet? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I asked because even though we are moldies not all moldies have problems with other substances such as lotions. Some lotions have a tanning ingredient that could cause that so I presented the thought. I like you only use non chemical stuff. use coconut oil, mango butter, shea or such .   God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: Michal <michalvictoria@...> Sent: Sun, November 29, 2009 4:46:57 PM Subject: Re: [] Has anyone experience orange face, hands, feet?!  noooo....i switch off stuff i use on my face-and only the most basic purest stuff, like Alba Botanicals.. .but i don't use it on my feet and i don't rub my feet after i put stuff on my face...tho maybe i should try just using just oatmeal, or glycerin soap on my face to wash and avocado for moisturizer for a week and see if it makes a difference.. .

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Too much Vit A won't turn your skin orange but betacarotene will. I googled " orange hands feet " and got some hits. Maybe do that. Heres an result from answers: http://answers./question/index?qid=20080911090612AAmjeJX > > I don't remember why but that sounds right. Perhaps you're not > metabolizing it properly.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I remember when my daughter was young and her nose started turning orange and the doctor said it was from carrots, baby food, etc. Since just about everything is orange in baby food at least back then he said to cut back on orange foods. Don't know if this is related. Hope you are less orange by now. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
