A WOMAN has revealed a very clever hack to getting around the liquid rules - and people have praised it as "genius".

While the strict 100ml liquid allowance is to be scrapped in the UK from next year, holidaymakers still currently have to abide by the strict rules.

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.

In the video, Emily, who goes by @emilymckeonfit, said: "Travel hack for the ladies - put eye make up remover and face wash on cotton pads in baggies. TSA approved."

The video has been watched two million times and people were impressed with the hack.

One person wrote: "Omg why have I never thought about this!"

Another put: "I needed to know about this right now, thanks, just about to pack."

Someone else wrote: "Omg this is so clever."

And a fourth simply put: "Genius."

Someone else commented saying how much cheaper it is to use Emily's tip compared to buying travel sized products.

They wrote: "I was just looking at Micellar Water travel sizes today - thought the price was outrageous. Thank you."

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.
