5 Things Not To Do To Your Doll This Summer


I got very positive feedback (emails) about our "The Biggest Mistakes You Can Do To Your Doll" post that I posted not a while ago. I got an email asking what not to do to your doll this summer and I thought the idea was great! You can still have fun with your doll this summer but make sure to remember these tips...

1. Never use sun screen on your doll. The cream it is made of will not come off easily and will easily make your doll slick and may even cause damage to her skin. Your doll will be fine in the sun, just don't leave her out too long in the blazing, hot sun. Unfortunately, sun screen won't help on this one, guys!

2. Don't use any tanning or bronzing products on your doll. Your doll's skin tone cannot be changed so don't try to make it change. Just like with the sun screen, your doll will over heat, so don't leave her out in the blazing,  hot sun for more than 30 minutes. Her skin might over heat and melt in worst cases. The sun will not affect her skin tone, neither will bronzing or tanning products.

3. Don't use any perfumes on your doll. If your doll smells bad, try to mist over her hair and change her into some different clothes. The chemicals in perfumes and body sprays will stick to your doll like gum sticks to your shoe. No matter if it smells so good, don't do it. Spraying it on her hair will make it even worse, leaving it greasy, and possibly stiff looking.

4. Don't get sand on your doll. This one is really important because if it gets in her arm and leg and neck sockets, it'll be like finding pins and needles in a haystack. You have to go to harsh troubles to try to get the sand out. 

5. This one is the most important one. Never get water on your doll. Especially water from the ocean and your swimming pool. Chlorine will damage your doll forever and if your doll gets washed up in the harsh, ocean waves, you're really out of luck.

We hope you enjoyed this summer themed post and note that I put a little more enthusiasm in this one :) Thanks for reading and comment what you're doing this summer! I'd love to hear from you all!
