Marketing - Cosmetics, Beauty / facial scrub | | French term or phrase: colonne esthétique | From the instructions on how to use a facial scrub:
Le retrait s’effectue idéalement avec une pulvérisation d’eau (colonne esthétique) ou tout simplement à l’eau tiède.
The colonne esthétique has me baffled - just a fancy way of saying water mister?
Thanks for any insight you can provide. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseFrench Foodie: 5:07pm Feb 1, 2006: I ended up asking the client about this, and it turns out it is quite a specific term. Here's what he said:
Il s'agit d'un appareil très complet qui s'appelle une colonne esthétique et qui comporte différents éléments tels que :le vapozone, la loupe, l'appareil à aspiration, la haute fréquence, le galvanique, les brosses rotatives, le pulvérisateur froid, etc.
The term they use is: facial care unit.

| | shower head | Explanation:
This is just a guess, really. I understand your suggestion of water mister, but I wonder if that would be strong enough to remove a facial scrub? A shower head - or in this case a fancy/pretty shower head with some sort of massage spray feature - would probably do the trick. |
