Well thanks! I have seen how nice oiled dark TPE looks like on my other dolls and I could not resist the temptation of pouring oil on my lovely Elsas skin.
This is a problem I agree. I powdered my dark skinned WM174G Cecilia and her skin did not look good after that. I will do the same with my dolls from now on, I do not powder them and skin tackiness will disappear as they accumulate enough dust particles.tesla3227 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 11:49 pm I have a dark skinned doll myself. She looks Native American and the problem I find is the amount of powder affects her tone making it ashy until I wash it off...I've had her for 3 years and now I just bathe her and give her mineral oil treatment for keeping her skin soft. I don't have an issue with tacky skin so I just don't powder her anymore.
I have heard about the same cocoa trick. Might solve the problem but better use pure cocoa powder, not the ones with lots of milk and sugar.
Elsa is about to reveal herself to you completely!
Cheers!
