How To Remove Makeup From American Girl Dolls

How to go stains off your American Girl doll'south skin

My newest patient, Mia, is hither today to assist me show you lot how to remove stains like these from your doll'south skin. My mom bought her on shopgoodwill.com and and then had her sent to me to get stock-still up, as poor Mia was in terrible status: her eyes had been painted on, her hair was cutting and messy, and all around her center sockets were these stubborn pen marks. Every bit you can run into in the 2d picture, she has been restored to her original dazzler and ready to go dwelling.

Many stains and marks will come off without much more than than a wipe with a wet rag, but sometimes y'all need to utilise a little more than desperate measures. I'll go over the easy and inexpensive method I used to restore Mia.

If your doll has stained peel, at that place are several ways you can try to remove it.

The start is baking soda paste. Put a little baking soda in a container with some water and mix it until information technology'south a viscid consistency. Then smear it on the doll'southward skin, staying away from the optics. Wipe information technology off with a moisture wipe.

If that doesn't work, try applying rubbing alcohol to the stain, as this will remove some types of ink.

If that doesn't work either, then you'll need a few supplies:

A sunny day
Some gratuitous time. I highly recommend devoting an entire day to this project, if you can.
Plastic wrap
Acne treatment cream with a benzoyl peroxide content of ten%. Here'southward what I used, for almost $3.l from Walmart:

That'southward it! Let's go started.

Yous'll want to begin as early in the mean solar day equally possible. You lot can do this over the stretch of several days, of course, but yous'll have to bring your doll inside and wipe off the cream in betwixt settings. I'll talk more about that before long.

First, undress your doll. Then locate the stain or stains you will be removing. Mia has a lot on her face but several on her legs.

Dab a bit of acne cream onto the stain(south).

Cover with some plastic wrap so that the wrap is pressed against the cream. This will forbid information technology from drying out.

Become your doll comfy, and put information technology in straight sunlight so that the sunlight is straight on the stain.

I'thou covering the balance of her that isn't beingness stain treated to forbid fading of her hair and peel in the sun.

Now you'll leave your doll in the sun for the rest of the mean solar day. At the terminate of the day, bring them in, wipe off the acne foam, and check the stain.

Hither's Mia later a few hours. I didn't start until after 1pm in this case, and by then it was getting a trivial cloudy, and then she's had not much exposure. It has faded a fleck, though! The stains on her legs are completely gone but these seem to exist a bit more stubborn.

If the stains aren't faded past the fourth dimension the sunday goes downwards, bring your doll inside and wipe off the cream so it doesn't discolor the doll's peel. And so when yous're set up, the next twenty-four hour period or even a few days later, repeat the same procedure until the stain is gone.

After her 2nd treatment of a few hours.
