Use nail polish and cleaning fluids that are too often can be a trigger nail colors to appear dull or lose its luster. To that end, Robert Cleary, director of product development from Dashing Diva nail salon in New York, suggests a natural way to restore the natural sheen of the nail.
If you usually try to cover up this dull color by applying clear nail polish, this time do scrubbing with lemon skin for one minute. Or soak nails in lemon juice. This fruit contains an oxidizing agent whose effects can brighten up your nails. Then at night before bed, massage the feet and hands nail area with a cream containing alpha hydroxy acid (AHA).
Tip: Reduce direct exposure of the nails with soap and dish washing clothes, cleaning cosmetics, hair dye, and sunscreen. Patricia Farris, a dermatologist from New Orleans, suggested to occasionally wear protective gloves if going to use these products. The goal, to protect the surface layer of the nail.
