Henna is a completely natural paste made from the leaves of the Henna plant (Lawsonia inermis). The leaves of the plant contain a natural and very effective pigment. When the leaves are dried and crushed into powder, they can be mixed with other natural ingredients to make a henna paste that is used in temporary body art tattoos.

Once you have applied the henna design to the skin, you should leave it there for as long as possible (at least 2 hours). The longer you leave it on the skin, the darker the stain will be. Once the paste is dry, you can wrap the design using saran wrap to hold it in place. Some people will even sprinkle gel spray or hairspray over the design to make it last longer.

If left alone, the henna paste will dry out and start cracking after about 30 minutes of application. Then it will start to break and crumble. You can use a dry paper towel to scrub off the dry henna or you can wash it off with warm water.

Henna tattoos usually last for 10 days – 2 weeks. Henna stains the top layer of skin and will naturally fade when the skin is exfoliated. To help the tattoo last longer we recommend using an all natural balm on the tattoo when getting into the water. Also, staying out of the ocean and swimming pool will help the tattoo last longer.

The paste keeps up to 4 weeks once mixed in a bottle or cone, if kept in the refrigerator, ideally the freezer. Henna powder will stay fresh for up to 2 years if it is stored in a cool, dark, dry place (a refrigerator is ideal).
