Beauty travel kits are the holiday essential that will save you at airport security
Under 100ml need only apply
Ah, the 100ml rule. It's been in place since 2006, and since then we've all been caught out at airport security. If you've managed to avoid having your super spenny fragrance, best sun cream or favourite shampoo thrown away right in front of your eyes, then you're definitely much more organised than us.
Luckily, it seems as if the 100ml will soon be scrapped at airports, and we will be able to travel with up to two litres of liquids instead. That being said, we still don't want to be taking our entire bathroom cabinets with us in our hand luggage when we travel, as it takes up valuable space and makes things much heavier.
So, what's the solution? Say hello to beauty travel kits. These handy kits help you decant your shower gels, body lotions, hair masks and more into smaller bottles, so they are easier to travel with (goodbye excess baggage charges) and you're not wasting products.
It's worth noting that most of these kits are made of plastic, and although this doesn't seem like a sustainable choice, you can use them again and again instead of purchasing miniature products which will be thrown away afterwards. We're such fans that we've rounded up all of our favourite kits below.
