Article: Whenever you plan on exercising or doing any heavy physical activity, you will want to properly warm up.  Warming up can help prepare your body and ankles for more strenuous work, reducing the likelihood of injuring the area.  Light stretching is a good way to warm up. Slowly jogging can safely bring up your heart rate and engage your ankles before exercising. Don't force any stretch.  Keep your motions slow and stop if you feel discomfort. If you plan on starting new exercises, activities, or increasing the intensity of things you're already doing, you will need to work into them slowly.  Jumping into a new movement or intensity too hard, too quickly will greatly increase the chances of you sustaining an ankle injury.  Gradually build up to new exercise programs over the course of a few weeks. You can also use cross-training methods to build strength and keep you protected from injury. For example, try running only one mile if you are new to running.  If you felt comfortable running that much, add a bit more distance next time.  Once you get used to that new distance, you can add more and continue building up your run length in this way. The simplest way to avoid injury to your ankle is to listen to what your body is saying.  If you notice any pain at all during exercise or activity, stop immediately or change the motion.  Pushing through any kind of joint pain will only further agitate the area and may result in a worse injury.  Always listen to your body when exercising for signs of impending injury or pain.   Don't train while injured.  Allow the area to fully heal before continuing any exercise program. If you have an old ankle injury, you also have a greater chance of injuring it again.  To cut down on recurrent injuries to your ankle you may want to apply a bandage or tape.  The ankle bandage or tape will help reinforce the area and will help keep it from moving in a way that could result in another injury.  Use this technique to properly tape your ankle:  Apply one strip of tape around the lower shin to create an anchor. Place another anchor strip around the middle of the foot. Create a stirrup by placing one end of the tape at your first shin anchor, bringing it under the foot, and back up to the other side of your shin anchor. Create a “figure 8” shape.  Start a piece of tape at the top of your stirrup, either side will do.  Bring the tape down, across the shin, under the foot, back up the leg and connect to it the opposite side of your stirrup. Add another stirrup on the foot itself.  Start on one side of the foot anchor tape, bring the tape under the back of the heel and end the tape on the opposite side of the foot you started from. Repeat each strip once again.  However, this time place the strips of tape with just a bit of overlap between them to cover more of the ankle and provide more support.

Article: Since the paint has already dried on the faux leather, you will need to find a sharp knife or pin to remove it with. Gently scratch at the surface of the paint with the tip of the knife or pin. Be careful you do not scrape or puncture the faux leather. If you cannot easily remove the dried paint using the tip of a knife or pin, try a toothbrush. Use the toothbrush to make gentle circular strokes, so that the dried paint begins peeling off the faux leather. Do not apply too much pressure or you might scratch the surface of the faux leather. Mix 1 quart/950mL water with 1 ounce/30mL dish detergent. Dip a sponge or soft cloth in the cleaning solution. Wipe the affected area down with the hot soapy water. This should help remove any remaining flecks of dried paint. For tough stains, dip the toothbrush in the cleaning solution and scrub the stain. Once you have removed the dried paint from the faux leather, dry the affected area with a cloth made of microfiber or cotton. You can also use a paper towel to dry the faux leather. If you have a tough stain on faux leather that doesn't respond to hot, soapy water or scrubbing, you might need a special cleaner. Look for cleaners that are specifically formulated for faux leather, and use the cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. You can use these cleaners on wet or dry paint.

Article: The gelatin itself that you will need is a cost effective and easy to use substance, and when applied correctly, can give the appearance of scars, wounds, or burns to your skin. To make your gelatin scar, you'll need:  Gelatin applicator (popsicle stick/makeup spatula) Glycerin Gelatin (or ready-made gelatin) Hot water Makeup (scar color) Mixing cup You should have a firm idea of where your new lines of your scars will run on your body. Gelatin is very friendly when it comes to removal, so you don't have to worry about pain if you apply it to an area with hair.  For more artistic scar patterns, gently drawing guide lines with an eyebrow pencil can be very helpful. You might consider hash-mark patterns, jagged lines, or menacing x shaped scars for your look. Whether this is your face or your arm, a clean and dry surface is best for applying your fake scar. A baby wipe works wonders, but if you don't have that available, a mild soap and warm water will do the job just as well. The simplest ratio you can use for mixing up your gelatin scar solution is 1 part gelatin to 1 part hot water in your mixing cup. The problem with this sort of ratio is that the gelatin can get dried out and shrink, putting you at risk for losing your prosthetic scar. Many FX makeup artists recommend adding some glycerin to prevent your scar from drying out too fast.  Add ¼ teaspoon glycerin to your 1:1 gelatin/hot water mixture.  Stir your gelatin mixture thoroughly, otherwise you might have bubbles form in the mixture and spoil the effect. Be prepared to move quickly after preparing your gelatin; gelatin solidifies very quickly. In your mixing cup, bring enough water to surround and heat your gelatin to a piping-hot temperature. Ready made gelatin usually comes in a bottle, which you have to heat to liquefy. Once it is liquid and at a safe temperature, you can apply it to your body. It's always best to test gelatin heated this way on a safe part of your body, like on your hand or forearm, before applying a large quantity of it to your body. Using your gelatin applicator, move the gelatin over the surface of your skin in the fashion that imitates the kind of scar you want to have. Due to the fact that your gelatin will not be malleable for long, you will need to apply your scar to your body fast.  If you are trying to create a scar effect over a large portion of your body, or if you are trying to create an intricate scar pattern, you may need to prepare your gelatin in several batches. While your gelatin is in the final stages of setting, you can tap it gently to create a puckered effect. Now that your gelatin scar is fully set, add some makeup to your scar to make it look more realistic. Foundation or concealer are great for blending the edges of the false scar, but a dash of something more livid can make your scar look like a fresh wound. If you plan on an exciting night out, or if you're the type that can't keep your hands off yourself, you might want to consider using a setting spray to keep your makeup on your gelatin. A smear caused by an accidental gesture will leave your look less than believable. Gelatin applied directly to the skin can be removed easily by peeling it off. Any stubborn bits can be loosened with warm water and a mild soap. This will ensure that all makeup and gelatin have been removed.
