Two materials, one rule: gentle The head is where hand-finished makeup lives — blush, lip tone, eyeshadow and brows are applied at the workshop and, like any cosmetic finish, they slowly wear where they are touched. Care here is less about repair and more about not accelerating that wear. Wig basics Most dolls ship with…
First: classify the damage Run a fingertip over the mark. If your nail barely catches — that is a surface scratch, and home repair is straightforward. If you can see into a cut or the edges gape — that is a tear, and size decides everything: under about 1 cm with closed edges, home repair…
Storage is where most damage happens Very few dolls are damaged in use. Most surface marks, flat spots and creases come from months in a wrong position. Storage is maintenance — done right, your doll comes out of a six-month break looking like day one. The golden rules No sustained pressure. Fingers, knees, chest and…
Why cold changes everything Below roughly 10 °C, both TPE and silicone lose elasticity. Cold skin feels firmer, takes fingerprints and — more importantly — tears far more easily when posed or stretched. Almost all winter damage is simply handling a doll that is still cold from the courier van or the storage room. The…
Why fabrics stain Dye migration is chemistry, not bad luck: loose color particles in synthetic fabrics dissolve into skin oil and warmth, and TPE — being slightly oil-based itself — accepts them eagerly. Silicone resists far better, which is one of the real practical silicone vs TPE comparison differences, but no material is immune with…
Why routine matters Both platinum silicone and phthalate-free TPE are body-safe, but both collect dust, oils and residue over time. A consistent cleaning routine keeps the surface intact, prevents odor and extends the life of the finish. Done right, a full clean takes about 15 minutes. What you need A mild antibacterial soap (no alcohol,…
