Mumbai: Dark shades or the constant use of nail polish can cause nails to turn yellow. Here is how you can keep your them pretty.
Go lemony
Lemon is a natural bleaching agent and can effectively clean yellow stains from your nails. Plus, lemon juice also works as an astringent. Fill a bowl halfway with fresh lemon juice. Soak your stained nails in it for 10 to 15 minutes. Then use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the discolouration. Rinse your hands with lukewarm water and apply moisturiser.
Denture tablets
Denture cleaning tablets have sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, which help remove many kinds of stains. Dissolve two or three of them in a bowl of lukewarm water and soak your nails for 15 minutes. Afterwards apply some moisturiser on your hands. Repeat this process three times a week for one to two months.
Orange peel
The high amount of vitamin C present in orange peel will help remove yellow stains from your nails. Rub fresh orange peel on them two or three times daily. Mix two tbsp of dried orange peel powder and a water to make a thick paste. Apply the paste on your nails and leave it on for 10 minutes. Remove with a soft toothbrush and then wash them with lukewarm water.
