Morphology

face + pack

The meaning 'a cosmetic mask applied to the face' is directly and compositionally derived from 'face' (front part of the head) + 'pack' (a creamy mask or treatment). This follows a common noun+noun compounding pattern (compare 'face mask', 'face cream') and would be inferable to B1 learners who know both constituents.

Etymology

Face pack comes from the idea of a pack — a soft paste, cloth, or mask that is placed on the face. People would put a pack on to clean, refresh, or improve their skin, so today face pack means a cream or mask used to 'care for the face'.
