Henna is a natural permanent dye and it will fade only as the skin regenerates a new epidermis which is our outermost layer of the skin. If the skin is newly exfoliated at the time of application the skin stain will be much less as the henna doesn't have as much skin to absorb into. Oily skin will have less retention than dry skin.
