I was definitely not consuming too much beta carotene, vitamin A, or carrot juice. I was eating a "normal" diet and not supplementing beyond a multiple vitamin each day if that much. As time went on and I became a little hypothyroid at mid life, I began doing a lot of reading regarding the thyroid and thyroid conditions. I found a book or article that said that when the person is not getting enough iodine, his or her body is not able to process the beta carotene correctly and it may be stored in the skin of some parts of the body making an orange tinge. Later I was put on iodine containing medications and other medications to adjust the thyroid, and soon my orange palms and soles became decidedly less orange. It this point in my life they do not look orange. I do not recall the source where I found this information, but the veracity of it seems to have borne out in my own medical history...as when I got the iodine the orange went away. Of course if a person eats tons of carrots that is a different situation and probably does not mean they need iodine I would guess.
