Henna
Henna otherwise called Mehndi is an all natural plant source that when
mixed with lemon juice and other natural ingredients will temporarily
stain the top layer of your skin. Ground leaves of the Henna plant
are mixed with liquid into a paste and applied to sit on the skin
for a certain
amount of time. Over a period of 24-hours, the stain darkens to reddish –rust
color --. It’s completely natural and painless.
How long does it last?
Henna can last from one week up to a month. It depends on your skin
type, and the area of skin in which it’s applied. Thin
skinned, oily areas produce a lighter stain, while thick skin
like the palms
of the hand and
soles of the feet produce a darker stain, thus lasting longer. Body
lotions and sunscreen often prevent the Henna from staining the
skin.
