Try: moisturizer, hand cream, conditioner, a bit of salad oil on a
napkin from the dining hall - I'm sure there are other plant-based
oils around a dorm. I don't know if "personal lubricants" would work,
but some of them are packaged for single-use.

Stay away from lamp oil (it would probably darken the henna, but
wouldn't be healthy). I don't know about petroleum jelly - anyone?

Honestly, though? It comes off without oil. If you want a quick
removal, stick some tape on top and pull it off. (Do NOT stick the
tape over a stained area, only on top of the dry henna or coating.)

If you want to prepare for the next round, try a beauty supply store
(where hairdressers shop) - they have *amazing* stuff, and some if it
is packaged for single-use. If you don't have one of those around,
try a restaurant supply store or one of those warehouse stores - they
also sell single-use packages, and I'd bet they'd have something.
