agree

Jan Willem van Dormolen: Aardig gevonden, alleen vanwege dat 're-', zou ik zeggen, 'herstellend en verkwikkend'.

-> Dat ben ik met je eens, die re- ervoor is dubbelop omdat invigorating al verkwikkend betekent. Dan is jouw suggestie een goede tautologische vertaling. Misschien zelfs *verkwikkend en stimulerend*?

agree

Iris Shalev: 'Verkwikkend en stimulerend' vind ik een goeie. Dat zou hetzelfde zijn als mijn 'vitaliserend en verfrissend' :)

reinvigorating vitaliserend

Explanation:
Ik gebruik vaak 'vitaliseren' voor 'energise' - 're-energise' zou dan iets als 'opnieuw energie inbrengend' zijn... vitaliserend en verfrissend/verkwikkend? 'Herstellend' vind ik meer klinken alsof de beschadigde huid hersteld wordt, wat hier niet echt het geval is.
