Portuguese term

banho pulverizado

Portuguese to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty
I'm having some difficulty visualising what this means. It's a visitor attraction at a 'medieval' fair. Here's all the context there is:

"inclui banho pulverizado nas pernas, repouso e chá"

I'm guessing it may be a kind of hydro massage, but it's only a guess.

The word "pulverizar" in Portuguese has a different meaning. Despite the influence of the English language, "pulverizar" is still more commonly used "kill pesticides", for instance: Pulverizar a terra, pulverizar as árvores, etc.
