Lemon juice is naturally rich with fruit acids and natural sugars. Not only does it remove dead skin cells but it also bleaches darkened or discolored areas.
Lemons also contain a high amount of Vitamin C, which is a natural antioxidant help to reduce melanin formation and provide a skin whitening effect when applied topically, when used individually or together can assist in slowing down hyperactive melanocytes and thus resulting in lighter skin. Sounds amazing but it really do works like a bleaching agent to help fade uneven pigmentation and diminish the appearance of such age spots.

• Base Polish
Nail polish is the most common culprit when fingernails turn yellow. Before polishing your nails in the future, consider using a clear base polish that will add a layer of protection between fingernails and colored polish. Your fingernails will be healthier, thicker, and they will be less likely to turn an undesirable shade of yellow.
In looking for a better base polish, try to look at the ingredient label at the back, it should NOT or should contain less of the following toxic chemicals that could be harmful to your nail and body:
1) Food Coloring 色素染料
2) Toluene 甲苯

In case you think lemon juice treatment is too difficult for you, there is another way to get rid of the yellow nail. Which is make them grow faster and trim them off the way.
Our hair and nail is compose of a special protein call Keratin.
To trigger them to growth faster and better, you need to consume more protein.
Best to consume more protein rich food like - meat, yogurt, fish and egg.
Zinc and iron are the other two essential minerals that one help in growth and protect immune system healing and recovery. The other responsible in transport oxygen in blood which help in circulation, enhance and performance of the human body.
Zinc and iron rich food - like seafood, almond, liver, raisin, spinach.
