Yellow or dull nails are often caused by dark nail polish, smoking, or cleaning products. A simple home remedy for mild stains is a paste made from lemon juice and baking soda. Lemon helps brighten stains, while baking soda gently exfoliates the nail surface.<\/p>\n
Apply the paste to clean nails for a few minutes, rinse with lukewarm water, and moisturize afterward. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as it can weaken nails. Using this treatment once a week, along with moisturizing, wearing gloves for cleaning, using a base coat, and staying hydrated, can help keep nails healthier and brighter over time.<\/p>\n
However, persistent yellowing, thick nails, pain, or crumbling may signal an infection or other health issue and should be checked by a doctor or dermatologist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
