I always wrap my hennaed hands and feet with ace bandages before bed.
I have never had a problem with my feet smearing, but it took a bit
of doing to get keep my hands from smearing. The best solution I
found, first seal your desing with lemon/sugar or New Skin, and then
after you put your layer of tp/cotton make a pad of folded
papertowels or more tp thick enough to fill that little space that
the bandage creates. I then wrap the whole thing with a layer of
seran wrap, then the bandage. The extra padding seems to keep my hand
from curving and smearing the lines. The whole mess definately helps
on the sweat factor, and the bandage keeps me from having to explain
why I have my hand wraped up like a leftover (LOL) when I don't have
time to remove it in the mornings before taking my daughter to school.
Hope this helps!
