Henna stains last on average 7-10 days, gradually fading completely away. Some areas with thick or calloused skin may show portions of the stain for up to 2-4 weeks.
There is no way to completely remove a fresh henna stain, but you can speed up the demise.
There are things you can do to speed along the demise of a henna stain:
- Soaking in the shower, bath, pool or Jacuzzi
- Scrubbing or exfoliating the skin
- Chlorine can help to remove the stain as well so a dip in the pool may speed up the fading process
- Whitening tooth paste scrubbed over the stain may help as well
