Hands and feet are the best -- warmest, most absorbant places for
henna. Skin on the back, chest and belly is less porous and harder
to stain. The only time I got a nice stain on a hard to stain place
was last week when I used an EO intense mix. 1 tbl dry powder
(Kenzi's, but any fresh brand should work well), enough lemon juice
to make a crumbly paste, enough black tea with cloves to make a nice
pudding texture, 1/4 tsp honey (because I like the texture it gives
the paste) and 1 tsp tea tree oil. It took about 3 days for the
paste to reach maximum staining power. But once it stained, it has
lasted on my inner arm (which usually never stains well at all) for
more than a week at a nice dark freckle color instead of the usual
pumpkin color I get.

Hope this helps.
