ABOUT HENNA
Henna, also known as mehndi, is the art of applying a natural dye paste to the skin in beautiful patterns and designs. Originating in India, this body art is intended to stain the skin, leaving behind beautiful tones of orange to deep red for brides on their wedding day. Henna has since become more popular for a variety of occasions: parties, festivals, birthdays, weddings, formal events, and just for fun!
Note: It is strongly recommended to get your mehndi applied 2 to 3 days before which ever occasion you are attending.

AFTER-CARE ROUTINE
WEEK 1
-
Do not touch your lips with your hands or materials (ex. scarves, balaclavas, etc.). Make sure you wash your hands before you do any after care.
-
Once you get home, clean your lip area with a fragrance-free and gentle cleanser and warm water. Pat dry with a clean cloth.
-
Next, apply a very thin layer of aloe gel and let it sit and absorb into the skin for at least 5 minutes before applying a thin layer of the polysporin ointment.
-
After a few hours, once the ointment has been absorbed, feel free to use the moisturizer or any natural unscented lip balm on top of the treated area.
-
Repeat this after care procedure 2-3 times a day for the first week.
-
It is okay to shower, however keep your lips out of the water for long periods of time. Pat dry once you are finished and repeat after care routine.
-
Remember: do not scratch or pick your lips. This will pull out the pigment. Let the tint flake off on its own, and soothe itchiness by applying more moisturizer/lip balm.
WEEK 2
-
Continue to wash your hands before you perform the after care routine.
-
Again, use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to wash your face and lip area. Pat dry with a clean, dry cloth.
-
Moisturize your lip area 3-5 times daily for the rest of the week. You should have finished your aloe and polysporin treatment. Now your enhanced area needs to stay moisturized to heal properly.
