Yes you can make your skin turn slightly orange by eating carrots. beta carotene turns your skin a different color, but you would have to eat a lot of carrots.

ye. carrots contain something called beta carotene which the body converts to vitamin A. too much of this can cause yellowing of the skin (carotinemia) as the beta carotene has a yellow/orange colour. you have to eat a hell of a lot though and its not particularly dangerous.
