omg that is so cool, what is the doll made of?
Most love dolls are made of silicone, but this one is made out of
Thermoplastic elastomer, abbreviated as TPE. She feels kinda "rubbery", but there is an easy fix for that. You get some baby powder or corn starch and "powder" the doll's skin. It looks like this:
It might look super funky, but after powdering the doll properly, there are no traces of white powder anywhere on her body, and she is SO SMOOTH AND SOFT!
Imagine the softest thing you've ever touched. After a powdering, she's 10x softer than that. I could just run my hands over her body all day long. I wouldn't want to lick baby powder, but corn starch is all natural, so I don't mind getting that stuff in my mouth at all.
I don't know how often you do that, but if it helps, when I took a cake decorating class, we were using thing called a dusting pouch that really came in handy whenever we needed to keep things from sticking to each other. I remember it was pretty much a thin bag that worked by filling it with cornstarch and gliding it along surfaces to keep the gum paste and fondant from sticking.
Something like that might save you some time when it comes to re-dusting her, since that photo makes me think you have to repeatedly dip the brush to cover her completely
