Henna and Skin: Stratum Corneum Catherine Cartwright Jones c 2003 Kent State University |
| What
is your skin made of, and how is it made?
How does henna stain your skin? Why doesn't a henna stain last forever like a tattoo? Diagram of
Henna stains,
day after day:
Why does the stain get darker when you remove the henna paste? Why does the stain disappear so fast in some places? Why do henna stains on the the palms and soles last a long time, and why are they so dark? What are those last orange traces, and why do they seem to last forever? What
happens if the henna gets beneath the straum cormeum, into the basal
layer?
