: 1. first of all, I've read so much about new skin here I'd like to
try it to compare results but I have sensitivity to latex so that
concerns me. If I recall latex is an ingredient in new skin? does
anyone have any experience with this? And if new skin is not an option
what other options for wrapping is there?

There is NO latex in New Skin. Ask the person if they have problems
with fingernail polish. If they don't, then New Skin won't be a
problem. Give them some info on how to get New Skin off easily ....
in fact an aftercare sheet is excellent. If you have very fresh
henna, in your heat, two coats of New Skin will be all the sealer you
need, and it's damn near indestructible and won't attract wonderful
little fire ants and bees like Lemon Sugar will.
If New Skin is a non starter, then you might use micropore or paper
tape in your circumstances (hot!) .

: 2. But I Was wondering if
anyone has experience how the sun and sunburn can effect henna?

Henna is a 100% sunblock .... you may have a white tiger when your
henna fades! Sunburns exfoliate really fast, and designs you put on
sunburned skin tend to vanish quickly.
