'it might save one's skin' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'confront group of wolves' is the wordplay.
'confront' becomes 'face' (synonyms).
'group of wolves' becomes 'pack' (I've seen this before).
'face'+'pack'='FACE PACK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for face pack that I've seen before include "It may make one look better" , "cream left on mug" , "cosmetic treatment" , "Cream treatment applied to cheeks etc" , "Cosmetic preparation placed over the front of the head" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
