Tips to remove fading mehendi

Marriage season is here and mehendi ceremony is a big part of it. It looks beautiful for few days and after that it starts fading. Many don’t like mehendi fading. If you are one of those, don't fret. Here's how you can safely and quickly remove mehendi.

Toothpaste: Some properties in toothpaste also help to quickly lighten mehendi. Squeeze toothpaste and spread it over the areas where mehendi is applied. Once it dries, rub your hands together to fade the colour faster.

Hand wash: Wash your hands more often. Soap helps lighten henna, but excessive washing can dry your hands, so remember to apply a good moisturizer each time you wash your hands.

Baking soda and lemon: Make a thick paste of baking soda and lemon juice and apply all over the henna. Let it dry and wash off with cool water. This can dry your hands, so ensure that you moisturize well.

Bleach: You can apply same bleach the type that you use on your face on the area where mehendi has been applied. Rinse off with cool water once it dries.

Olive oil and salt: This is perhaps the gentlest way of fading the colour as olive oil is a natural emulsifier. Mix some salt and olive oil and apply on your skin. Let it be for about 10 minutes and repeat the process a few times. This has to be done over a few days to get the desired effect.

Salt water: Add salt to warm water and soak your hands/feet in it for about 20 minutes, or till the water becomes cool. This process will also have to be repeated a few times for you to see some effect. Soaking your hands for extended periods of time can dry them out, so keep a good moisturizer handy.
