How to Apply Henna Paste and Care for Your New Art

Once you’ve had the paste on long enough and you’re ready to remove it, get something thin and blunt like a butter knife and slowly scrape the paste off your skin. Don’t try to wipe it off or you may smear your design. After you’ve scraped most of the paste, then you can take a cool, wet cloth and rub off the rest. You should be left with a pale to light orange stain. Don’t be disappointed if it isn’t very dark yet – the color will darken significantly over the next 24 hours.
