How to avoid/clean TPE-discoloration caused by kissing?

Hi,

As a result of a lot of kissing a discoloration of the whole mouth area occured. As you can see in the picture.
I enhanced the picture a little to accentuate the discoloration a bit more. This is a DH168 TPE doll.

This is definitely caused by kissing which we do a lot.
I often disinfect her (internal) mouth with 3% hydrogen peroxide and a cotton swab, and clean the lips and surrounding with baby-oil.
I also treated the mouth-area with vaseline and left it a few hours without touching and kissing hoping there would be a 'protection-layer'.

But it seems not enough.
Can anybody please give some advise how to clean / avoid this?

Many thanks in advance,
Dani

If there is a way to avoid and fix this, I would also like to know that because I have several heads that have this same discoloration.

Too many kisses me too!

Cheers!

I've had this problem with most of my dolls. I've seemed to have avoided it with Josie so far. I've had her a year and a half, and no discoloration yet. She is also my favorite doll to kiss. The only thing I've done different is that I wipe her mouth and nose with a wet cloth after every "session". I also avoid eating anything, and wash my face, before we have fun together. I assume it is the oils from my face that have caused this discoloration. So I try to always have a clean face before I kiss her. No discoloration yet. It has either worked, or WM has a more resilient TPE that isn't as prone to this type of discoloration.
