Care Kit For American Girl Dolls – Does it work?
The skin care kit is indeed just baking soda in a little shaker can and a couple of thin washcloths. So you can replicate that yourself, right? But moreover, don’t expect it to make an old doll look new. The baking soda will clean away surface grime and perhaps a small scuff but will NOT make your doll perfect. If you just want to freshen up your doll, go for the baking soda (just a teeny bit). If your doll has major skin issues, consider sending her to the doll hospital (they can even replace her head, but then would you feel it was the same doll you loved so long?). You may decide that a little wear and tear on your doll just shows she was loved and played with.
