We all want that SEXY TAN for the Summer, some of us have the time and some don't, for others it takes longer to develop a tan, and others turn darker but without that GLODEN GLOW! your in luck I have the perfect secret ingredient shared by the stunning expert Afaf Al Essa, who herself experimented with many different tanning products and wanted to use natural ingrdients, her main ingredient is HENNA, which is used for hair dye and body tattoo's, very popular in India, Africa and the ME, we wanted to create a modern twist to this natural plant, and by using it as the tanning lotion!
INGREDIENTS
Henna: acts like a self tan-you get an instant color that lasts for a week and longer
Tea & Coffee: helps balance out the orange of the henna and the caffeine acts as a stimulant in developing your tan
Carrot juice: has carotene, which also stimulates the color and adds brightness, the glow you are looking for.
Water: the agent used to create the consistancy of a lotion-like texture.
Instructions (prep time 2-3 mins)
* mix all dry ingredeints (coffe & Henna powder)
* add the carrot juice to the mixture
* add the 7 tea bags in the water until its dark, then pour it to the henna mixture
(make sure it is not thick like a paste but more like a lotion-type of consistancy, add more water if needed to achieve the right texture)
* Let the mixture sit under the sun uncovered for 3-4 hours before use.
*NOTE: it is a messy affair, when it comes to applying the home-made lotion, please make sure you are not wearing a white swimsuit, try to find an old one that you dont care for as much, also if you do plan to swim on that day, try to avoid swimming in a pool, and opt for a beach swim, also sea water will help develop your tan further)
THE SECRET HAS BEEN REVEALED, I THINK SOME OF US HAVE HEARD OF THE HENNA MIXTURE, BUT DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO CREATE IT, AS HENNA CAN BE A TRICKY AFFAIR...THANKS TO AFAF WE NOW KNOW THE RIGHT WAY IN GETTING THIS SEXY GOLDEN GLOW! that will last for weeks, the more you moisturize the longer it lasts try to use ALOE VERA cream.

ReplyDeleteshould we apply it and swim right away?
or should we wait for a certain amount of time then go into the water?
and what kind of henna should we use?
also, i heard about people mixing baby oil with henna .. do we get the same results then?

ReplyDeletewhen applying it, cools the body
-wait till dry and powdery
-then apply your preferred tanning oil on the dry henna all over your body
-after 10 minutes go into water (you can re-aaply depending on how dark you want to get)
Do I have to shower off that henna after certain amount of time?
