Yellow nails cramping your style? Don't worry, you're not alone! This common issue can be caused by a variety of factors, from the everyday to something a little more serious.
Common culprits include frequent use of dark nail polish without a base coat (those pigments stain!), smoking, and even certain medications. Less common causes might involve fungal infections or underlying health conditions.
So, what can you do? First, give your nails a break from polish. Opt for a clear, nourishing base coat when you do paint them. Gently buff the nail surface to remove surface stains. For stubborn discoloration, try soaking your nails in a mixture of lemon juice and warm water or a baking soda paste.
If the yellowing persists despite these remedies, it's always a good idea to consult with a doctor or dermatologist to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Healthy nails are happy nails!
