How to make a temporary tattoo at home?

Many people know that henna is needed for this process. However, not everyone knows that this should not be a hair dye, but a special powder. It is sold in specialized stores.

From this powder we need to get a paste, which we will apply to the skin. For this we need:

• 4 tbsp. Henna spoons;
• Strong black tea (boiling water);
• A few drops of olive oil;
• Lemon juice.

So, all components must be mixed. Consistency should be like sour cream. Then you can do different things. For people who do not have drawing skills, it will be better to use a stencil, because it's rather difficult to make a temporary tattoo with henna.

An important point, which plays a significant role in the final result, is the degreasing of the skin before applying the tattoo. This can be done as a simple soap that does not contain moisturizing ingredients, and alcohol.

So, put the stencil on the skin. It is desirable to fix it somehow, so that the drawing turns out neat, for example, an adhesive tape. Now you can apply a paste of henna. Do not be sorry, the layer should be about 5 mm in thickness: only so the tattoo will turn out bright. Next, gently remove the stencil and leave to dry the gruel for 2-3 hours. At the end of this time, henna must be scraped or cleaned with a dry sponge, but not with water. It is better not to wet the tattoo for at least two days - henna will be better.

If the edges of the picture turned out to be uneven, you can use a syringe, in which you first need to type the paste of their henna, and circle the contours. The syringe is useful to those who can draw: in this case, you can do without a stencil.
