: In a discussion about lemon-sugar and aftercare farther down the
page,
: I offered to post my aftercare sheet. This is what I hand out to
: clients (and now I am going to staple to it a little baggie
containing
: a lemon-sugar soaked cotton ball). Feel free to copy it, edit it,
use
: it as your own. Most of what is in here are tips that I picked up
: from people here anyway. Here it is:

: "After-care instructions
:
: To ensure that your henna design comes out dark and lasts a long
time,
: just remember your M.A.T.H.:
:
: Moisture:
: - keep the paste moist by wrapping it up well; this traps your
body
: heat and moisture
: - at night, wear a sock, glove or ace bandage over it
:
: Acidity:
: - the lemon juice in the paste will contribute acidity; the
: lemon-sugar mixture also helps...keep dabbing it on occasionally
: before you wrap
:
: Time:
: - keep the henna in contact with your skin as long as possible,
about
: 6-12 hours; sleeping with the henna paste on is best
: - you will be rewarded for your patience!
:
: Heat:
: - while the paste is on, keep the area warm by wrapping it up well
: - for designs on the stomach or back, put a heating pad over the
area
:
: The day after:
: - steam the area for 5-10 min. over a sink or basin filled with
: boiling water - this loosens the paste so you can scrape it off
with
: your fingernails or a blunt knife (do not use water to remove, try
: rubbing it off with oil)
: - do not get the design wet for 1 day after applying it - rub a
: little oil over the area before showering and don’t scrub the area
