Your henna design can last as long as 1 to 3 weeks with proper care. Please leave the paste on as long as possible, at least 2 hours. The longer the paste stays on, and the warmer your skin is while it’s on, the better the result. When you want the paste off, you should scratch, not wash, it off. Wait at least 24 hours after paste removal before getting the design wet. The design will look orange shortly after paste removal and in the next 12 to 24 hours it will darken to its final color. Over the days and weeks the design will fade as your skin cells exfoliate and new cells are made beneath. You can prolong the life of the design by rubbing a vegetable-based oil into your skin- such as olive oil. Chapstick can be used in a pinch to protect your body art before bathing.
