neutral Muriel Vasconcellos: George, girls "tonify" their skin! I was going to put "pat," but then I found several reference where "dab" was used. I think you "dab" it when the agent is moist and "pat" it with something dry.

  -> Muchas gracias, Muriel. I agree. Your choice of words is better. Thanks. Actually, I like "patting" better. "Dabbing" seems a bit weak for "golpear"..
