Skin teint
Hallo,
i have a dark skin teint, although i am German without other influences, also in my family everyone is very light-skinned. Well i am a lot outside during the summer, but i dont loose a lot teint during winter time. Is this a sign that i am Vitamin A poisoned? Anyone experienced a lighter skin after a few month in a VA depletion diet?
My background is:
- During my teens i drank a lot of ACE juices, its a juice with carrots and added VA.
- 2013: I ate a lot of vegetables and also drank a lot of carrot and green juices
- 2014 -2016: WAPF diet with a lot of FCLO, butter, eggs, sweet potatoes and calf liver
- 2016-2018: Ray Peat diet with a lot of calf liver, raw carrots, eggs, butter and supplemented Retinol and Multivitamins with Retinol and Beta Carotine
I assume the color is from purely from melanin and not from carotenoids? I am fair skinned, but after eating lots of sweet potatoes, my skin seemed darker but more on the orange side though no one ever said I looked orange. After going low vA, my skin does appear lighter/more clear.
