How to make freckles with henna?
You can change your face and your image in general using different methods. For example, you can paint freckles on the skin with henna. This is a very unusual way to attract additional attention to yourself.
Why do this?
The attitude of people towards freckles is different. So, some believe that these "mischievous spots" give the face a younger and fresher look, while others use special decorative products to mask them. Since ancient times, there has been a legend that the presence of such spots on the skin is a kind of "sign" that their owner will be lucky. This theory has not received scientific evidence, however, some people still continue to believe in it.
The presence of freckles on the face is a natural feature. It is interesting that even during the year, the brightness of these spots can change.
For example, when the sun exposure falls, then the freckles turn pale. In spring, when the sun is quite active, they start to stand out more. Freckles may or may not persist on the skin throughout life. For example, in some people, by the age of 40, the number of these spots is significantly reduced. There are even cases when freckles completely disappeared from the skin without the use of any special means. Experts note that such changes are indeed possible, since with age, the balance of substances, including melatonin, "responsible" for the appearance of "sunspots", decreases.
Freckles look organically for owners of fair skin with red hair. As a rule, such spots are present in red-haired beauties from birth. Therefore, freckles are also painted by many women who have changed their natural hair color and dyed their hair red. This little "trick" helps to create an organic, completely natural look.You can also draw freckles for owners of blond hair. However, you should keep in mind the measure. Too many freckles on the face do not need to be done in this case. In this situation, it will be appropriate to make some "sunspots" near the nose and on the upper half of the cheeks.
Freckles made with henna on the face are also a way to "mask" various skin problems. For example, in the warm season, when the sun's rays are quite active, age spots on the face tend to increase in size. In this case, experts recommend lightening such elements, and then paint a few freckles on your face to create a natural look. This can be done, for example, with henna.
Another reason why beauties resort to applying freckles to their faces is the desire to create a romantic look. A few "sunspots" will help create a softer, more feminine look, and also "shed" a couple of years.
How to draw?
For drawing on the skin of freckles, you can use various formulations. Many women prefer to choose products with a natural composition for this. One of these is henna. This product has been successfully used for hair, eyebrow, eyelash and skin coloring for centuries. Since henna has a fairly natural composition, the risk of adverse effects from its use for the body is quite low. The method of applying freckles with henna is quite popular. The technique of applying "sun spots" to the skin of the face is relatively simple, therefore it is widely used.
The cost of the procedure is quite reasonable. Freckles applied to the face by henna look quite natural.
You can draw "sun spots" on the skin of your face both at home and in beauty salons, as well as in beauty parlors. At the same time, it is very important to decide on the shade of the product that will be applied to the skin. If you plan to draw freckles at home, then in this case, the original shade must be determined empirically. In practice, situations are quite common when freckles applied by henna look too dark and unnatural. This usually happens with newbies. As a rule, after several such procedures, the color selection is carried out more correctly, which means that freckles look quite organic on the skin.
To paint "sun spots" on the skin, you first need to stock up on henna. It is very important to choose a quality product. This will help reduce the risk of potential negative effects. Before applying this product to the face, it must first be tested for the presence of individual sensitivity. If after such a test no adverse consequences followed, then henna can also be used for drawings on the skin.
First, the product should be poured with hot water at a temperature of about 80 degrees, and then left to infuse. It is extremely important to withstand this time, since otherwise it will simply not be possible to achieve the desired result. Once the henna is ready to use, it can be applied to the skin.
Experts recommend not immediately applying it to your face. To determine the shade, a small amount of the product can be applied, for example, on the forearm and see if the color is suitable for application on the face.
It is convenient to apply henna with a toothpick. You can also do this with a stick made of wood.
Once the stains have been made, the skin does not need to be touched for about 10-12 minutes. During this time, the coloring composition should dry out. After that, henna should be reapplied. This must be done very carefully and carefully so that the spots do not "spread" and subsequently look natural. After the repeated procedure, the coloring composition should be left on the skin for 3-5 minutes and then gently washed off.
