Tiktok user Emily McKeon shared the tip with her 22,000 followers explaining how to carry liquid make up remover and face wash in your hand luggage.

She advised travellers to put some cotton pads into a plastic bag and pour make up remover or face wash onto them.

The pads then soak the products up so there won't be any liquid.

By keeping the cotton pads in a sealed, airtight bag, they will remain moist so you can use them when you get to your destination.

Some flight attendants have revealed the products they pack to reduce the amount of liquids they're carrying.

They suggest taking soap, shampoo and conditioner bars instead of their liquid counterparts.

The bars are solid and can be packed away in your luggage instead of taking up space in your very limited liquids bag.

Plus there's no chance of them leaking, so you don't need to worry about wrapping them in a plastic bag.

We've got all the details on the amount of liquids you can take on a plane.
