It is possible to use henna paste that is a few days old, though it
will be hard to guarantee a good stain. While not a perservative, you
can add camphor to your old paste to give it good color; you can do
this right before you need to use it.

Also, some henna powder needs to be mixed up the day before to give
time for dye release, so you have to anticipate having someone to use
it on. The henna I use has a pretty quick dye release so you can mix
it up the same day and use it in a few hours. I like this because I
can wait to see what the weather is going to be like before I mix up
my paste and go sit in the street hawking henna.
