After Care : Henna

• DON’T GET WET!!!
• Leave the henna paste on for a minimum of 5 hours.  8 to 10 hours is better.
  The longer the henna paste remains in contact with the skin the darker the stain and the longer the design will stay. 
• Keep warm for deepest stain. Sweating may spread the stain.
• When removing the protective tape, scrape off henna with fingers, credit card, or plastic butter knife.
• Rub the design area with any oil or balm that doesn’t contain water.
• DO NOT let the design come in contact with water for 24 to 48 hours. 
  Water will stop the stain’s developing process.
• Your henna design will darken over 48 hours and last 1 to 2 weeks.  
  The longevity of the design will vary based on body area, skin texture, and after care.
• Continue to apply oil or balm daily for best results.

Aftercare Extras

• Henna paste can transfer and stain skin or fabric when in contact for longer than an hour.  A stocking is a great way to protect your design overnight while the ink develops and sets.
• When showering, apply oil/balm first, and use a rubber glove with a hair tie around the wrist to prevent it touching water.

After Care : Jagua Gel
