henna paste

Temporary skin stain

Henna paste is a dye mixture made from powdered henna leaves, used to create temporary reddish-brown designs on skin or to color hair.

The paste is applied in patterns, left to dry, then removed, leaving stained skin that fades over weeks.

Traditional in South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures for weddings and celebrations: She had intricate henna paste designs on her hands for the ceremony.
