Any woman can face the problem of yellow nails.

This is a sign that you need to think about your lifestyle.

First, you need to establish the cause of yellowing, and then take measures to treat the nails.

There are several possible reasons for yellowing:

- a medical condition such as a fungus or a more serious condition such as diabetes, liver problems and lung disease;

- constant medication intake can also cause yellow nails. For example, tetracycline (an antibiotic used as an eye ointment) has this effect;

- bright varnish contains certain components that penetrate the nail plate. Even after washing off such varnish, they remain inside the nail and lead to its yellowing.

To restore the natural color of your nails, you should use two tips.

First, you need to stop doing your manicure and let your nails recover. If you can't do without a manicure, then before applying varnish, be sure to use a base that will perform a protective function.

Secondly, use bleaching products. They are sold in the store and the procedure can be done either at home or in a salon.

If you have never done whitening yourself before, it is better to go to a salon. This product can damage your nails if you leave it on your nails for too long or use it incorrectly.

There are also folk remedies for whitening nails. These include lemon juice baths or chamomile tincture.

The procedure is absolutely harmless, but to get the result, you need to repeat it several times. Another useful property of such baths is to strengthen the nail plate.

Finally, multivitamin complexes can also eliminate the problem if the nail has turned yellow due to a lack of vitamins. All these measures in combination are guaranteed to help, and you will forget about the problem of "yellow" nails.
