The slightly yellowish tinge of the skin is primarily due to the presence of carotenoids, pigments found in various fruits and vegetables, particularly in foods like carrots and sweet potatoes. Additionally, the natural oils in the skin and the amount of melanin can also contribute to this hue. In some cases, a yellowish tint may indicate an underlying health condition, such as jaundice, which is caused by elevated bilirubin levels in the blood.
