Japanese term

パック化粧料

Japanese to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty
The only translation I have found is "pack cosmetic". Yet when I google "pack cosmetic" in English, all relevant hits (i.e., those where pack is used as an adjective rather than a verb) seem to be translations from Japanese. Can anyone offer an idiomatic English translation for this term? Many thanks in advance.

face packs/facial packs

--- Generally, face packs and face masks are lumped together, but strictly speaking there are differences. There are many websites on how to make your own home face pack using natural ingredients. There are facial/face packs for dry skin, etc....

---- Here are some definitions and examples below:

What is the difference between Face Pack and Face Mask?
Face Pack cleanses the face and removes the impurities from the skin. The face pack is also a wash off product.
Face Mask cleanses and removes dead skin cells. The face mask is a peel off product.

For facial skin you can use these natural face packs.
. Make a paste by adding wheat flour to milk and rub it well on your face. When the paste dries up, wash it off. The dirt and dust will come out along with the maida paste leaving the skin soft.

Face scrubs are very good as they slough away dead cells and give a glow to the dead and lifeless looking complexion. Take care not to use a scrub when you have angry looking pimples on the face. A scrub can at times aggravate the situation.

To make it easier use the scrub under the category of your skin type. The same with face packs. Use only what is suitable to your skin. Though the homemade packs are very gentle and will not cause any harm, do keep in mind, any allergies you may have.

Also, there are packs made for specific area such as "nose packs."

facial mask products or facial mask cosmetics

Like Shannon pointed out, パック here means mask which comes in many forms. However, to distinguish it from the mask you wear over your mouth, I think it is better to use facial mask.

Products or Cometics alone will do the trick for 化粧料 instead of cosmetic products.

Pack = mask

FYI, "pack" in Japanese is normally called "mask" in English. Not sure about the whole term, but that may help you search for it.
