Well, I decided to try this the other day, and I've been surprised
and pleased with the results.
I applied henna to all those areas normally covered by briefs/panties
just to see what effect this might have (apart from a disconcerting
color change!).
Only a few moments of imagining what henna pasted applied here would
look like will give you an idea of why I could only stand it for
about an hour before showering it off.
Nevertheless, those "damp" areas *have* stayed pleasently dry,
fragrant though I did not notice any "cooling" except when the paste
was on me. In terms of keeping pleasantly dry, it does much better
than talcum powder.
Anyway, perhaps someone can tell me *how* this application was done.
Being a beginner, I probably chose the dumbest (and funniest?) way to
approach this problem. Would it be better, for example, for me to
mix henna into a hot bath, and go soak for an hour or so?
Since I have problem skin (very oily and still have acne even as an
adult), I would like to see if henna would help, and I'm not terribly
concerned about being a different color for a while (as long as I
don't look like a clown). I think I could get used to using henna as
an anti-perspirant.
Any idea of how long these benificial effects last?
I would love to find out the "how-to's" of henna use for skin/body
care.
Anyway, I though you all might be interested in an actual field
report! :-)
Take (henna pants) Care Everyone!
