Over the years, nail polish makers have switched from chemical formulas to non-toxic and unharmful ingredients. Even so, prolonged use of dark shades can still stain the nails, since dark pigments usually penetrate deeper into the nail plates. To avoid that, you may want to alternate to light shades sometimes. Those who never remove their nail polish are also prone to yellow nails.  The pigments stay on the nail and produce chemical reactions.  This is like going to sleep with make-up. The skin cannot get to be cleaned and replenished which ends up with a lot of problems. In rare cases, serious yellow nails can be a sign of fungus. If your nails are thick and brittle and you Hartley use Annie nail products, you would better go to see a doctor for fungal nails.

When you are sure that your yellow nails are caused by dark nail polish, you can simply just quit using them until they return to normal.  Otherwise, you may try to use lemon juice, since it is acidic and has whitening power.  It can remove The yellow Ness without damaging the nail.

The way to do it is quite simple. Just Dav with either a nail brush, a toothbrush or a cotton ball into a cut lemon. Better yet, you can directly rub a lemon slice on the nail plate. The result will come on very quickly. Just give it a try!

眾所週知，指甲油含有多種化學成分，不過現時很多品牌都推出無害無毒的指甲油，令人能夠更安心使用，不過長時間塗抹深色指甲油，會使指甲容易變黃，因為色素會沈澱於甲底，所以應時不時轉換淺色的甲油。

另外指甲變黃的其中一個原因，是因為長期塗抹指甲油，沒有定期更換，著色劑和指甲板之間的化學反應，引致甲面黃化。情況就如帶妝睡覺一樣，皮膚得不到足夠潔淨和修護，令各種肌膚問題湧現。除此之外，在極少數情況下，嚴重者是真菌感染。會使指甲床受損，繼而使指甲變厚變脆。如果不是經常美甲者，又或很少塗抹深色指甲油，遇到這樣情況應盡快到醫院檢查。

若是因為長時間塗抹指甲油導致指甲變黃，解決方法其實很簡單，只需放棄一段時間不使用甲油，直到指甲顏色恢復正常就可以。又或使用檸檬去除發黃甲面，皆因檸檬汁含有一定程度的酸成分，有很好的美白功效，能夠在擦除指甲時去除指甲的泛黃，又不會傷到指甲。

做法非常簡單和方便，先將一個檸檬切開，然後用指甲刷或牙刷沾上少許檸檬汁擦拭30-60秒;又或者可以用棉球沾著檸檬汁擦拭指甲甲床，或用檸檬片擦拭指甲，效果同樣明顯。大家不妨試試！

Why would peeling happened on the hands?

Hand peeling generally happens when the weather enters from dry winter to humid spring. It is not yet hot enough for the hands to sweat. The hands feel oily but lack of moisture.  When there are too much friction peelings happen.  Some Chinese medicine practitioners believe that this is a sign of poor circulation and Excessive heat inside the body. Lack of nutrition can be a reason too. Other common causes include contacting with chemicals and hereditary.

Can lack of vitamins cause peelings?

Lacking Vitamin A to a certain degree can cause peelings on the hands. Also, some bad habits and skin infections can be the underlying causes of peelings which eventually triggered by dry weather.

2. Psoriasis may starts at a single finger. Then, it will spread to the rest of the hands and work on to the feet.  If not being careful, the problem will spread to the rest of the family. Since psoriasis is highly contagious, getting treated by the doctor is an urgent matter.

On our next discussion, we will talk about caring and treatment.
