French term
France
effectuez 7 passages
- pour les compact teintés, appliquez environ 1g de produit.
- pour les sprays, appliquez 5 à 7 pressions pour chaque avant-bras.
- pour le baume stick, effectuez 7 passages sur les zones à protéger.
I'm having trouble with "effectuez 7 passages".
My best effort so far:
- Stick Balm: smooth the product 7 times back and forth over the areas needing protection.
This feels unwieldy and I dislike 'back and forth'.
Thank you for your suggestions!

Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Plenty of foundations and pressed powders now contain sunscreen, but that doesn't mean they give you the right amount of protection. Experts say you would have to *** apply seven times *** the amount of foundation you wear to get the full SPF value of the product.
