: : Thanks for the feedback. Hmm. Guess that's not an experiment : we're : : likely to see, then. Pity - after catching up on this forum and : : reading bits below about someone with salty skin, the effects of : body : : chemistry seem interesting to me. Then again, the henna stains the : : dead skin, right? So the skin formed during the time of fasting : : (forms greatest in the wee hours?) would be at the surface, all : ready : : to grab onto that henna (or not), so the henna done just after : Ramadan : : might have slightly different characteristics. Oh, well - any : : variation is probably smaller than the usual variability. : That would be an interesting study. i don't know enough about human : physiology to even be able to venture a guess as to whether it would : be darker or lighter from fasting. : Something else to consider is that during Ramadan you are usually : eating as much as you would normally, just on a different schedule. : I broke my fast at 4:30 (or later) with a very small meal, then ate : dinner at 9 pm, maybe a snack around midnight and then ate breakfast : at 5:30 am (can't get through the day without coffee, and so got up : at this awful hour before the sun rises to eat a little toast and : have my coffee). I am not at all sure how that schedule would make a : change in the composition of your skin. Anyone have any ideas? : (scientific or otherwise?) : : : : About Ramadan - yes, I'd heard that one abstains from other things : : than food during the day, so it does make sense that henna would : wait : : until the month ends and the henna is more appropriately : appreciated. : I was chomping at the bit to be able to do henna on myself again. I : did Moroccan and Tuareg designs (thanks Catherine) as part of my post- : Ramadan personal henna celebration.
