Help how do I get a black henna stain off of DDs face?!

Dd has been at a friends party and they did henna tattoos (not that impressed by this as she could easily have been allergic). She had one on her hand last night then fell asleep on it so it has
transferred to her face. Anyway I can get this off? Her skin is quite sensitive so something like acetone not a great plan.

Try milk - works with hair dye. Full fat milk is best

Try one of these to speed up the fading.

Not sure how to get rid of it but be aware that black henna can trigger other allergic reactions. I had a black henna tattoo dye done and from that point on have been allergic to PPDs in Hair dye, was fine beforehand and the box dyes actually have warnings on them stating that you need to be especially careful if you've ever had a black henna tattoo.

Things to consider trying:
Baby oil (or olive oil) - rub in and wash off several times.
Bicarbonate of soda and lemon juice in water - use like a face scrub
Whitening toothpaste- apply, leave, wash off.
Go swimming

Yes I am aware of this which is why I am annoyed that they did it without checking with me first. She is 16 so I guess I don't have much say.

Thanks all - baby oil did the trick!
