Maintaining your Henna Tattoo!

• Before you apply henna, wash the area to be decorated with a good soap and water.
• Henna, once applied, should be kept on until it is fully dry. This gives the skin time to absorb the natural dye.
• Lemon is regarded as a protective agent of the skin so squeezing a little over the area that henna is on will also be beneficial but please make sure there are no cuts and sores in that area because freshly squeezed lemon stings!
• Once the henna is dry, try scraping it off rather than washing.
• It is generally a good idea to avoid washing the area with henna patterns for up to fifteen hours but if you’re on the go then try applying baby oil and do so daily after washing your hands.
• Try to keep Benzoyl Peroxide, this is mostly acne cream and face washes, away from your henna as this will disappear faster!
• If you can refrain from exfoliating the area, that would be great!
