Summary: There are many ways to remove doll makeup, but the most important thing is to use a gentle soap and warm water. Make sure to rinse your face well and dry off completely before applying any new makeup.
Step by Step Guide: How To Remove Doll Makeup
Step 1: Take Off the Wig and Eyeballs.
To remove an eye sticker from a doll, rinse the face with a baby wipe to remove the eyes. Next, fill a basin or pot with tepid water, place the face in the water and leave for around 5 minutes to soak out the glue. Once you have soaked off all of the glue, remove any remaining eye sticker from under your doll’s eyelids.
Step 2: Remove the Makeup From Your Doll’s Face.
Place a small amount of petroleum jelly on a cotton ball and gently rub it over the skin’s surface to remove any lipstick or eye makeup, then use a damp cloth to wipe off any residue. If your doll has been ‘eyeliner-ed,’ you may need to use a small amount of nail polish remover (acetone) to remove the eyeliner. If your doll has had white or pink face paint applied, you can use some gentle solvent-free baby oil instead of water for this step.
Step 3: Clean Up Any Spills on the Dress.
Gently wipe away any crusted makeup on the dress and wig with a damp cloth. If the dress is made of fabric, you can carefully wash it with warm water and a little dishwashing liquid, but be careful of colors and fabrics that may run or shrink when wet!
Step 4: Use Tpe-safe Makeup Remover.
Dip a cotton ball into the remover and gently wipe over any areas that need some extra cleaning. For example, if you have used petroleum jelly to remove some parts of your doll’s makeup (such as eyeliner), use a new cotton ball for this step to prevent your remover from becoming contaminated with jelly residue. Also, check labels for any signs of TPE-safe ingredients before using the remover on your doll.
Step 5: Use an Old Toothbrush.
Suppose some areas of your doll’s face still have traces of makeup. You can either use an old toothbrush to gently scrub the area clean, use a new cotton swab to remove stubborn makeup or use another small tool designated explicitly for cleaning your doll’s face. Be gentle, and don’t be tempted to apply too much pressure, as this could damage your doll’s skin.
Step 6: Wash the Wig With a Mild Shampoo.
It’s best not to use a chemical-based shampoo on your doll’s wig, as these chemicals could damage it. A natural baby or pet shampoo is a gentler option, and if you’re having trouble getting the hair clean, you can add some diluted vinegar to the mix and let it soak for 5 minutes before rinsing it out with warm water and drying it thoroughly before putting it back on your doll.
Step 7: Clean the Glass Eyes With Eye Drops.
Gently place some eye drops in each eye socket and let them drain. Wipe away any residual makeup or dirt with a cotton swab. Be sure to dispose of the container properly when you’re done.
Step 8: Put Your Doll’s Wig Back on.
After you have washed your doll’s wig, fluff it up by Rubbing it through with your fingers, then carefully place it back onto your doll’s head. If the wig is still damp, dry it off by gently patting or squeezing excess water out of the hair and leaving it on a wig stand. Do not leave the wig in direct sunlight or near a heat source as this can damage its fiber, and avoid placing any non-TPE safe items anywhere near your doll’s wig that could snag or tear it.
Step 9: Take Care of the Body and Hair.
If your doll’s hair is very oily, you can use a few drops of baby oil or olive oil on a cotton ball to remove the excess oil. Also, take care that you do not get any water near your doll’s wig while you are cleaning it! Finally, if there are no visible traces of makeup on the face, spray some disinfectant spray around your doll’s neck and allow it to dry before putting the head back onto the body.
Step 10: Rewash the Face With a Moisturizing Soap.
Don’t use anything that can irritate or dry out your doll’s skin, such as alcohol or acetone-based soaps. Instead, gently wash off any residual makeup with a moisturizing soap. Add some diluted vinegar if your doll’s skin is still feeling oily or greasy, but be careful not to get any in your doll’s eyes, nose, mouth, or ears!

What Are the Benefits of Removing Doll Makeup?
You probably noticed that your doll is wearing makeup. You may be wondering how you can remove the makeup so that it doesn’t accumulate on your doll’s facial pain. Removing this type of makeup will keep your doll’s face clean and help to prevent staining, which helps preserve its appearance and value.
Once the art supply store sets up their display, they will probably have a demonstration on how to remove the makeup. Most likely, they use mineral spirits or paint thinner, which are flammable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Removes Doll Face Paint?
With a lot of play, your doll will experience some wear and tear. Though not serious, dings and scrapes should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent rusting or further damage. Additionally, worn paint on hard plastic bodied dolls can provide an unappealing appearance that detracts from a doll’s play value. Fortunately, if your doll originally came with a painted face, she can have her face repainted to restore its original beauty.
If you are not so concerned with appearance, another option is simply removing the old paint. Because doll makeup uses non-toxic material, this can be easily accomplished at home without any serious risks to your doll’s health. Although it will work, you should not use paint remover designed for human skin. This is especially dangerous because of the risk of inhalation. However, it is also unnecessary since many ordinary household products can do the job just as well.
Should I Use Any Special Products or Tools to Remove Doll Makeup?
First of all, don’t worry! Doll makeup is very easily removed. However, removing it can be different depending on the product used to apply it. I recommend using a face wash with an oil component, such as! The pores in the vinyl and resin will easily absorb and remove the oil components of the makeup, so if you use this type of face wash, there is no need for any additional products!!
However, if your doll has makeup or face paint that’s difficult to remove or smudged, try using a cleansing oil to remove it completely! The makeup’s ingredients are oil-based, so if you use a cleansing oil, it will come off quickly!
Conclusion
Removing doll makeup can be a daunting task, but it can be done quickly and easily with the right tools and techniques. However, it is important to remember that while dolls are a great tool for imaginative play, parents should be mindful of what their children will see and do with the doll.
The most effective way to remove makeup from a toy doll is by using baby wipes or rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. We hope you enjoyed this article on how to remove doll makeup. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to leave them in the comment section below!
