There is a new expensive kit on the market in Canada and on the net
which has a "sealant" containing AHA (alpha hydroxy) which is an
exfoliant, in other words it helps the skin to shed cells. Thus it
makes your henna design go away faster.

The traditional and effective method of treating the drying henna
paste was posted in the first answer to this question by Kris. We
have never seen the term sealant used in regards to henna before.
Great idea for painting a wall or somesuch, but not something you want
to do to the pores of your skin.

Henna aftercare is as simple as applying a light vegetable or massage
oil to the design daily, especially before showering or washing the
area. Avoid solvents, cosmetics, abrasion or excessive soap on the
design to maximize its longevity.
