First, I wanted to apologize for 2 things; 1) for being MIA as I have been busy in the past few weeks at work and 2) for not reviewing the Beauty Formula's dry shampoo because I still haven't got the perfect oppurtunity to try it out. However, I am now back and I promise that I won't disappoint! :)
Now, let's get back to business...
Do you have yellow toenails/fingernails? If you do, this may mean that you lack iron or have a fungal infection. Other causes of yellow nails are, smoking, lack of oxygen, and excessive use of fake nails or polish. So the best way to treat yellow nails is to prevent them by taking care of yourself.
However, if you now have yellow nails, there a lot of natural remedies that you can try. I have listed a few that I think are most effective and easy to do:
Whitening toothpaste
Lightly brush your nails with toothpaste concentrating on the nail bed. Make sure to brush the sides of nails as well. You can also add a little bit of lemon for a stronger bleaching power.
Lemon and Rock salt
Mix lemon juice and rock salt to make a scrub and scrub your fingernails/toenails lightly. This is an effective way to exfoliate your nails. You can also use this mixture to scrub your feet. This will also help in stoping toenail fungus as it restores the natural acid layer of your skin.
Apple cider or White vinegar and Luke Warm Water
After your bath, soak your feet or hands into this mixture for 10-15 minutes. This will not only help you get rid of yellow nails but it also relaxes your tired feet and hands. Perfect when you're about to sleep!
Treating yellow nails is easy but as mentioned earlier, the best way is to prevent it by making sure that you stay healthy. If none of the above suggestions helped, seek help from a doctor right away.
Stay healthy,
Anj
