How do you get rid of yellow tobacco stains off the fingers,while youre trying to quit smoking?it looks awful! -
Step1 Rub the nicotine stains on your fingers vigorously with half a lemon, allowing the juice to soak in for at least 10 minutes. Lemon is a natural astringent and absorbs deeply into the skin, cleansing without overdrying.
Step2 Use potatoes for nicotine stain removal. The simple act of peeling a dozen potatoes will quickly remove stains; however you can cut a potato in half and rub it into your skin, as you would with a lemon. Allow the juice to set for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing.
Step3 Dissolve an aspirin tablet in 1 cup of hot water and soak your fingers to remove those pesky stains from your skin. This aspirin and water method also works for removing nicotine stains from clothing and walls.
Step4 Remove difficult stains by rubbing the skin with a pumice stone after applying any of the above remedies. Pumice should only be used for the initial stain removal, as excessive use will cause damage to your skin and can build calluses. Once the major spots are gone, you can use the above methods for routine nicotine stain removal.
Step5 Keep your skin moisturized to create a barrier, preventing the nicotine from soaking deep into the layers of the skin. Applying Vitamin E oil to your hands daily will not only help your skin to remain healthy and beautiful, it will make it more difficult for nicotine to stain your fingers.
Try a whitening toothpaste - rub on hands and rinse
A paste of baking soda and water can also work .
Lemon does too.
A little bleach in water won-t hurt either
Peroxide is a whitener /bleach too.
* Use soap and water afterwards and a good skin conditioner
* Do not use a brillow pad as someone suggested . No sandpaper either -- you would be surprised at what some folks will do
No one method will immediately remedy the situation. It takes time .
Good Luck in your endeavor to quit smoking !
I did it ..10yrs now ..smoke free
You can-t. It will gradually disappear if you quit and the skin gradually sheds and replaces itself. Good luck with the quit.
use the white part of the lemon rind and rub that substance into the stained skin - then use a Brillo pad or pumice stone and the stain will scrub right off...dont foreget to moisturise the skin afterwards...good luck with quittiing
