Light scarring using moulds

Products & Equipment:

-     Brush set & disposables

-     Tee pin

-     Set scar mould

-     Pros-Aide (adhesive)

-     Pros-Aide remover

-     Supra colour Palette

Method:

1.      Make sure the area of skin you’re attaching the mould to is free from grease or moisture, otherwise the prosthetic won’t stick

2.      Powder over the mould to avoid it sticking together

3.      Lift the scar from the mould using a tee pin

4.      Powder on the reverse side, again, to avoid it sticking

5.      Attach the prosthetic pieces with Pros-Aide

6.      Melt away any edges using a cotton bud in warm water if the mould is gelatine or acetone if the mould is latex

7.      Make up the scar using colours from your supra colour palette

8.      Use Pros-Aide remover to remove the scar

NOTES:

These moulds can be made of latex, silicone or gelatine.

To create your own gelatine mould, simply pour the melted mixture into the mould and smooth over, then put into the fridge to cool quickly
