A thoughtful personal care routine keeps a doll’s surface clean, comfortable, and visually appealing. Start with a simple daily wipe-down using a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and lukewarm water to remove oils, sweat, and dust. Gently pat dry with a soft towel; avoid rubbing to prevent micro-scratches on sensitive surfaces. Weekly care includes a more thorough wash of all exposed areas, then a careful inspection of seams, joints, and connectors for signs of wear or looseness. After washing, allow excess moisture to air-dry completely before applying any conditioning products.
For conditioning, choose products designed for silicone or prosthetic-grade skin; apply a tiny amount to a soft cloth and spread evenly, avoiding adhesives and seam lines. Use powder (such as cornstarch) sparingly to reduce tackiness, if recommended by your care guidelines, and always ventilate the room during application. Store the doll in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and drastic temperature fluctuations to maintain material integrity. Finally, perform routine checks of joints and hardware, tightening any loose components within manufacturer-specified tolerances and seeking professional help if something feels unstable. Regular, gentle care supports longevity and keeps the doll looking and feeling its best.
