How to Care For a Henna Tattoo
Hello this is Heather for Expert Village and we've just finished spraying the henna design with lemon sugar and I'd like to explain to you just a few tips for taking care of the henna design. The lemon sugar is one step in the process of making sure that your henna develops nicely and you get a good rich color. The main purpose of the lemon sugar is to seal the henna on and to have this stick on as long as you possibly can have it there. The longer the henna stays on the skin the darker it will eventually be and the longer it will last. The other things you can do to keep it is if you rub a little oil over your skin before you go swimming or go in a chlorinated pool or do dishes, anything where you're going to be emerged in water for a long time. Just put a little bit of olive oil, tea tree oil also works. The other main thing to know is that anti bacterial hand jells will actually make the henna fad faster as I've learned from experience. If you would like to get the henna design off quicker in any way what you can do is purposely go in chlorinated pools or use that anti bacterial hand soap or just scrub it a lot and it comes off more quickly. Most likely your henna will come out beautiful you'll want to keep it as long as possible so just leave the henna's paste on as long as you can before taking it off. Here we have the henna on your hand which you want to keep on as long as possible so that eventually it'll look like this when the paste comes off. At first it's actually a lighter brighter orange than this. This is after it has darkened for about 14 hours. It can take as long as 48 hours to full darken up.
