Sunscreen would block it ---i always clean the skin with isopropyl
alcohol so this would remove the surface cream....perhaps...ah just
thought of something...remember reading an article stating the
dangers of sunscreen (types of anyway) and that it absorbs into the
skin and is dangerous that it does this after a while and it then
also takes all of the radiation from the sun that it has been
blocking into the skin too.....perhaps this is whats happening...they
skin is full of absorbed sunscreen and therefore cannot absorb the
henna in the first place!
