You know how airports only let you take 4oz containers of liquids in your carry-on? Well actually, as I found out last weekend, its only 3.2 oz. Which meant that I had to give up all my precious moisturizers and cleansers to the TSA.

Those guys won't even use them.

Any hoo. A good way to avoid the Attack-of-the-Mini-Toiletry-Snatchers is to use facial cleansing pads instead of a liquid cleanser.

Dickinson Witch Hazel makes pocketable astringent pads that can be easily slipped into luggage. They're also rated one of the safest facial cleansers on the market by Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety.

No more finger-crossing while stuffing your bare necessities into that dang plastic bag.
