Hi Jeremy - how's your wife's back - better I hope. Yes, I am the
one who goes to Margate, I don't know where the other Lynn is from
but I'm going to call myself Lynn S to avoid confusion. The lemon
sugar thing, I've read about it before, and I have squeezed lemon
juice onto a dry henna to re-wet it, but what exactly is the purpose
of lemon sugar - does it actually seal it in any way. (sorry to be
so thick, but I use Henna Mud and you don't need anything else with
it. Take care, Lynn

: : What is LS?
:
: Lemon-sugar - the safest coating for henna and it doesn't smell
bad,
: but is, of course, sticky, dries slowly and attracts bees and wasps.
:
: : And tell me more
: : about New Skin from America - what is the difference - all
details
: : please
:
: : : After having both front and back of my
: : : hands done i sealed my palm with LS and the top with US newskin.
: : : The difference is astounding. My palm which i expected to be
dark
: : is
: : : orangy brown however the topside that was sealed with NS is
deep
: : : mahogany. WOW.
:
:
: Can't remember the ingredients on the two bottles, but the UK stuff
: has, I seem to recall, some nasties which the US one hasn't. Either
: way, Alex got a nasty allergic reaction off the UK stuff, but has
: never had a problem with the US. The US one comes in spray as well
: as liquid, but I don't get on with the spray - even more difficult
to
: remove.
:
: Trick with NS seems to be to shower before trying to remove it. Oh,
: and find a friend who likes grooming you. :-)
:
: BTW, what's this about two Lynn's. Are you the one in Margate? :-)
