What damages my henna stain?

For a great looking, long lasting henna stain, avoid the following:

  • petroleum based products such as regular commercial skin lotion, sunscreen, baby / mineral oil or Vaseline
  • excess rubbing of the area; the rubbing of clothing and shoes on the design will cause your henna design to fade exfoliating, waxing or shaving over your henna
  • bleaching products & chlorinated pools / hot tubs
  • excessive showering
  • antioxidant based products such as vitamin E in lotions
