: If you have lemon juice in your paste, you can go straight to New
Skin
: without any lemon-sugar at all. Just let your henna dry in place,
then
: do the NS. Your perspiration under the wrap will remoisten the
henna
: while the New Skin keeps it absolutely pristine.

Hmmm, I'll have to try this. I used the lemon sugar as a kind of
barrier layer between the New Skin and my skin so that the New Skin
would come off more easily. My entirely non-scientific basis for
this is an experience of a friend/henna client; I did her henna,
didn't use the lemon-sugar, just the NS, and she said she had a hell
of a time getting the NS off. Have you found this to be true or is
my friend just having a different reaction because of skin
differences (she's about 15 years older than me so her skin is less
oily)?

I was really happy with the New Skin because I could see the design
wihtout risking its staining ability. And I slept well knowing that
my henna was not going to come off during the night.

Also I used a winter glove because I couldn't find any clean rubber
gloves around the house. My hands were so toasty that I had to take
the glove off before i had woken up completely...I found it on the
floor in the morning! Needless to say, my henna is DARK. Your
designs look great on me, CCJ!

: If you do the soles of your feet, New Skin them when the henna is
: dry...do a second round of NS, then wrap, put on socks or slippers
: ...AND YOU CAN WALK ON THEM FOOTSIES!!!!!

: Getting the NS off.....pick at it like it's a sunburn pealing...or
rub
: in a little cocoabutter and it will slide off. Actually, I like NS
: for really dense foofoo patterning, and with that stuff, the NS
just
: rinses off with the henna in the morning.
