A natural, lifelike finish is a hallmark of realism. Choosing the right polish for silicone or TPE involves balancing gloss, durability, and skin feel. Light surface polishes can enhance a smooth, healthy look without making the skin overly shiny. Apply a small amount with a soft, lint-free cloth, testing on a hidden area first to ensure compatibility with the material. For a more satin or matte finish, choose a product designed for synthetic skin that dries clear and remains flexible. Avoid polishes with solvents or harsh chemicals that can degrade the surface over time. Periodic polishing can also help reduce micro-abrasions and restore a uniform tone after handling or friction. If color transfer occurs, a gentle remover designed for synthetic skin can help, followed by a protective layer. Remember that less is often more; frequent, light polishing yields better results than heavy, repeated applications. Regular care with the right product choices sustains a believable, resilient appearance that remains true to life over years of use.
