You can soak the design in hydrogen peroxide and scrub at it; this
should help get rid of it. You can also just go with it on, it's
amazing how people don't notice henna (I wore mine for days at work
before anyone said anything! And then the comments were "how cool!")
Using lotion with alpha-hydroxy acids is supposed to help remove
henna; also sunscreen and exfolliants (think of those great face and
body scrubs).
