wiping off

French translation: élimination (du produit)

22:06 Nov 28, 2006

English to French translations [Non-PRO] Cosmetics, Beauty / manual for beauty salons/beauticians, facial treatment procedure
English term or phrase: wiping off 3ème étape d'un soin du visage, après le massage préalable (shiatsu) et le nettoyage. Le verbe "wipe off" se traduit généralement par "essuyer ou éponger" mais ici j'ai besoin d'un nom et ni "essuyage" ni épongeage" ne me semblent convenir dans ce contexte... Contexte : "Wiping Off [the face] with Steamed Professional Use Cotton Pads" "Pre-treatment massage / Cleansing / Wiping off / Shiatsu Massage / Vibration / Vacuum..." "Purpose of cleansing, vacuum and wiping off: removes sebum and old skin cells that are clogged up in the pores" Merci !

Grading comment Merci pour vos idées ! J'ai décidé d'opter pour "élimination (des impuretés)" puisque j'avais déjà utilisé "nettoyage" pour traduire "cleansing" mais il est vrai que dans un autre contexte "nettoyage" ou "démaquillage" aurait pu fonctionner. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer

nettoyage en profondeur Explanation: Pas d'"essuyage" ou "épongeable", alors peut-être que ce substantif le 'profond NETTOYAGE' du visage vous conviendra. Bonne besogne. :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2006-11-28 22:14:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Pardon, "épongeage" pour le lapsus. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2006-11-28 22:15:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PPS: NETTOYAGE tout court, pencore mieux... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2006-11-28 22:41:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PPPS, Alors DÉMAQUILLAGE, DÉBARBOUILLAGE...
