: What is LS?

Lemon-sugar - the safest coating for henna and it doesn't smell bad,
but is, of course, sticky, dries slowly and attracts bees and wasps.

: And tell me more
: about New Skin from America - what is the difference - all details
: please

: : After having both front and back of my
: : hands done i sealed my palm with LS and the top with US newskin.
: : The difference is astounding. My palm which i expected to be dark
: is
: : orangy brown however the topside that was sealed with NS is deep
: : mahogany. WOW.

Can't remember the ingredients on the two bottles, but the UK stuff
has, I seem to recall, some nasties which the US one hasn't. Either
way, Alex got a nasty allergic reaction off the UK stuff, but has
never had a problem with the US. The US one comes in spray as well
as liquid, but I don't get on with the spray - even more difficult to
remove.

Trick with NS seems to be to shower before trying to remove it. Oh,
and find a friend who likes grooming you. :-)

BTW, what's this about two Lynn's. Are you the one in Margate? :-)
