Henna is applied to the skin in the form of paste when used for body art.  This paste is applied with a mosquito– a bottle with a very fine tip.  The henna is painted on the skin, and as the henna dries, it begins to dye the skin.

It will take fifteen to thirty minutes for the henna paste to dry initially.  This does not mean that one should remove the henna paste.  In fact, the opposite is true.  One should leave henna paste on the skin as long as possible to ensure that the paste has dyed the skin to its full potential.  The henna paste will cool the skin as it is drying.  This is very normal and often can be mistaken for a burning or itching sensation.  The cooling sensation will stop in about ten minutes; one should leave the paste on and be patient.  After about an hour, the henna will typically flake off on its own.  Patience is the best policy, so if the henna paste has not fallen off on its own, one should leave it on until this occurs.  After the paste has fallen or flaked off, the stain remaining will be a bright orange tone.  The bright orange will eventually turn to a rich reddish-brown in about twenty-four hours.  After such a time, one can shower, wash hands, and go about their daily business without worrying about damaging the henna tattoo.

It is best to keep the area of the skin as moisturized as possible where the body art has been applied because the stain has dyed the first three layers of skin.  The faster these layers go, the faster the tattoo will fade.  Olive Oil is the best moisturizer for the area of the body where the henna has been applied, as olive oil is used to mix the henna paste.  Highly fragranced moisturizers have been known to effect the henna, so one should avoid using scented lotions on the henna.  Moisturize as often as possible, before and after the shower is best.

Chlorine will absolutely remove the henna tattoo.  One should apply a thick layer of vaseline while swimming in the pool.  There is no guarantee that the henna tattoo will survive the chlorine, but this is the best way of protecting it.

Henna body art will last two weeks if given the proper care.
