Washing and Care
Instructions
The face paint I use is professional, water-based makeup that is
FDA-compliant for use on the skin.  They are hypoallergenic and
have antibacterial properties.  They remove easily with baby wipes,
or a warm, wet washcloth lathered with tear-free shampoo.  For older
kids and adults, any facial cleanser and a washcloth will work.  Cold
cream or lotion will aid in removal from certain skin types.


Your Glamourology is non-toxic and safe for the skin.  It should last
3-7 days, depending on your skin type and maintenance.  It is
waterproof but becomes weak when subjected to prolonged time in
water (swimming or taking a bath) so after such activities pat dry the
area, don't scrub or scratch with towel (friction shortens the lifespan
of your Glamourology.)  Avoid alcohol based oil or lotion near it.  If
you wish to remove, let alcohol or lotion soak in 5-10 minutes before
you scrub and remove.  

After Henna Paste is applied, leave it on the skin for as long as possible, at
least 2 hours.  (Overnight works very well)

When it's time to take it off, scrape it off, do not wash it off.

Avoid wetting the area for as long as possible after paste removal, and
avoid chlorine.

The stain will be orange at first, and it will darken over the next couple of
days, reaching its peak color somewhere between 48-72 hours after the
paste is removed.

The stain will fade over the next 1-3 weeks depending on how rapid your
skin cell turnover is.  

To prolong your henna tattoo, avoid chlorine and keep the area moisturized with
shea butter and do not exfoliate your skin.  

If you would like a darker stain, you can leave it on overnight, and as long as
possible, and you will need to keep the henna paste moist and warm as long as
you can.

If you wish to leave your henna on overnight, you will want to wrap it with toilet paper (to absorb
sweat--otherwise it will run)  and then cover that with plastic wrap, using tape where needed.  
The plastic wrap keeps the henna warm.  

If you leave the henna bare, and sleep on it--for example resting your face on it, the design may
likely transfer, so be sure to cover it while sleeping.
