So, here's the deal: the TSA has something called the 3-1-1 rule, which means you can bring liquids, gels, and aerosols in containers that are 3.4 oz or less. That's right, folks, 3.4 oz is the magic number! And, these containers have to fit in a clear, quart-sized zip-top bag. Easy peasy, right?
Now, you might be thinking, "what about my favorite perfume or cologne?" Well, the good news is that you can bring those in your carry-on, but they have to follow the 3-1-1 rule too. And, if you're wondering about medications or breast milk, don't worry, those are exempt from the rules. But, it's always a good idea to check with your airline to be sure.
So, why are these rules in place, you ask? Well, it all started after a foiled terrorist plot back in 2006, and the TSA decided to crack down on liquids and gels in carry-on bags. And, let's be real, it's all about safety first. But, don't worry, with a little planning and prep, you can still bring all your favorite beauty products on board.
