Just to add my two penneth! :o)
I leave my henna mix on for around 7 hours (because it gives me a
nicer colour, than if I only left it on for a couple of hours)..
I use 50/50 lemon juice & grape juice.. then throw in some herbal
tea, the next morning, to get it to the right consistency.. I also
add a few drops of Lavendar EO (Lavendar's generally good for
releiving skin irritations, though I don't know how much effect it
would have in such small amounts)..
I have sensitive skin, but I've never had any problems with my lemon
juice/grape juice mix :o)

: I would think the problem was from the long exposure to lemon juice
: ... probably made your skin sensitive. If you're going to leave
henna
: on that long, might make a less acidic mix ... say, with
rainwater.
:
: I have problems with lemon juice and thin skin if I leave on my
body
: art henna for 8 hours.
