German term or phrase: (Körper-)Packung
Hallo! Ich suche nach dem englischen Begriff für (Körper-)Packung. Im Gesicht spricht man ja von facial mask, aber wäre das für den Körper auch eine "mask"? Body pack klingt etwas seltsam in meinen Ohren. Es geht insgesamt um die Beschreibung verschiedener Kosmetikartikel, ist also eine recht allgemeine Frage.

Danke für jede Hilfe!

Asker: Dorothy is right. I think package is the treatment package here, not the product. But thanks anyway for your answer.

neutral  Dorothy Schaps: "Packung" probably doesn't refer to "package" here. I think the "Packung" is the treatment. Maybe Doris could give us some more context... =/ Surely it would be "Paket" if "package" was meant?

Asker: Thanks a lot for your help. Body pack sounded a little strange to me. That's why I needed the opinion of a native speaker :-). Thanks again!
