Help Lightening a TPE head

Hi is there any way to permanently, or semi-permanently lighten a TPE head, something that will last a few washes. The doll's body is white and the head is "natural" but looks a bit too orange and doesn't match very well. I tried soaking the head in a dilute bleach solution but it did not have any effect and I assume the way in which the TPE is dyed in the factory is not chemically affected by bleach (helpful to know for dealing with mold). I suppose I could use make up/foundation but it would have to be re-applied every time it was washed.

I had a look in Hobbycraft at the various inks and paints they had on offer and I was wondering if any of these would work?
