Henna
Jagua is a fruit from the Latin American Rainforest, it has been used for hundreds (if not thousands) of years by the Rainforest Tribes to decorate their skin with really amazing black body art. You have probably already seen this body art on many TV documentaries, like The Tribe (BBC), its possible that for some years people have actually assumed that the body art was permanent tattoos because they actually look so similar.
After Care
Now that you've got a beautiful Henna Tattoo, it's very important to look after it well to get the best possible results. Your Henna Design will be part of your skin for the next few weeks, so treat it gently with respect and it will look great and last for as long as it possibly can.
Do not pick your henna paste off early.
•Do not get it wet during the first 12 hours or it will halt its colour development… and stay orange. Avoid strong sun when the henna design is still developing (i.e. cover it up) •Avoid contact with bleaching chemicals such as household cleaning fluids, and chlorinated water in swimming pools. •Avoid saunas and steam rooms and these actively encourage your skins natural regeneration cycle •Avoid contact with abrasives such as exfoliating products etc… •When showering/bathing do not scrub your skin, just wash it gently with mild soap. •After showering/bathing do not rub your skin dry, pat it gently with a towel instead.
