When I want to quickly remove a henna stain from skin, I use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to saturate the area, and rub until it becomes very light. Remember, henna penetrates only the stratum corneum of the skin, the thin layer of cells that are sloughed off over time. If you rub the area enough, it will come off with friction. Normally, well-taken-care-of henna stains will last about a month, or 4 weeks. If you wash the area excessively, the stain will be removed faster than with natural fading.

if you want it to be darker leave it on for as long as it can stay on even over night but if you want it to be light wash it off after 15 minutes

Yes, however it takes a while. Some suggest 2 weeks - 2 months. Depending on the place.
