CARE

Mehndi has metallic particles that actually sit in the pore and fall out as the skin exfoliates.  These particles react with body acids, the lemon juice and oils, rust and produce the color.  Each person reacts differently to the henna because of this.    Avoid scrubbing the design and pat it when drying with  a towel.  Use oils to keep the color vibrant.  If the design must be removed, cuticle remover helps accelerate pore cleansing.  Swimming, doing dishes, and other water immersion activities causes the stain to fade rapidly.  Mehndi, acting as a sunscreen, may also give a reverse image if you sunburn with your design.
