Henna All Over Body, Is It Possible To Put Powder In Bath To Dye Whole Body?

[Henrietta]

As above, can you and is there a specific type of henna or other dye i can use to totally submerge my body in the bath to have an all over tan? Or any other products i can use for this purpose?

My mother told me a wartime story. She was a nurse, and couldn't afford stockings, so she and the other nurses got hold of potassium permanganate and knelt in the bath in a solution of this stuff. When it was dry and they had used eyeliner to mark a "seam" up the back of each leg, they looked exactly as if they had stockings on, and this trick fooled matron every time.
But I'd be very surprised if repeating my mother's little trick these days would be considered a terribly good idea. Especially where your delicate bits are concerned.

isn't potassium permanganate purple?
there are loads of fake tans - i would recommend a professional spray tan

Henrietta when exactly are you going? If you're that keen and have time then fork out for a spray tan or the cheaper alternative of self-tans from the chemist etc. You're going to get a real tan anyway. I'm a very high maintenance packer, you might be too :-) make sure you have 2 of the things you really need like lipstick, kohl pencils (don't forget a sharpener)and waterproof mascara and have some money put aside to buy some great cosmetics at the airport before you leave.

Henna would dye your body a very unnatural reddish shade. There are lots of good fake tans in Boots.

No i don't think you should go for it better coloring your body hair you could remove it or do laser treatment by which there would be no hair in future.
