Henna After Care Tips

So, you've just adorned your skin with a stunning henna tattoo from Dots and Vines Henna. Congrats! Now, let's talk about how to take care of your temporary masterpiece and make it last as long as possible. Here are some henna after care tips to keep your design looking fresh and fabulous:

 Keep it dry, but not too dry: We know you want to show off your henna tattoo to the world, but for the first few hours, it's important to keep it dry. Avoid water, sweat, and any other moisture for 20- 30 minutes that could smudge or blur your design.

 Avoid water for 10-12 hours to get a dark and beautiful stain. Remember to moisturize your skin with shea butter or an aftercare oil/balm for better results.

 Your henna will be a light orange when scraped but in 48 hours it will peak to its maximum color saturation, a deep mahogany red color. Note that henna stains the darkest where the skin is the thickest. Thus, henna applied to your palms and soles of your feet will stain the darkest, and other parts stain lighter in comparison.

  Avoid the scrub-a-dub-dub: While you're in the shower, be gentle with your henna tattoo. Avoid scrubbing the area or using harsh soaps, as this can fade the design faster. Instead, opt for a mild, fragrance-free soap and gently pat the area dry.

 Embrace the natural fade: Over time, your henna tattoo will naturally fade away. Instead of mourning its loss, embrace the beauty of the fading process. Each day, your design will evolve and transform, creating a unique and ever-changing work of art on your skin. It's like having a tattoo chameleon!
