5 travel-friendly tricks for packing your toiletry bag

I don’t have to worry about the purple shampoo, but I do tend to do most of these, even though recent travel has been restricted to short domestic trips.

Some good advise, but I must say that I find mini's quite expensive to purchase. Much better to buy big and then fill smaller bottles that can be purchased at the supermarket.

I generally don't buy minis, instead I just decant the product into a travel bottle. The only exception is dry shampoo, I just buy a smaller one or a mini one as I have the giant size at home.

I wrap all my products in zip lock bags, it's saved me so many times from products leaking. Especially hair serums!

Great tips! I had a small travel perfume but it leaked!

I take a few alcohol swabs as well. Good for hands or armpits after being on a plane for thirty hours is amazing how this can freshen me up.

All good tips. I do most of them. Reminded me to look for a toothbrush case too! I need a nice sustainable option...

I must say these are some of my top tips too, especially the dry shampoo one.

I love minis!!!! give me all the minis!!!

Oh I definitely need to check out some aerosol free dry shampoos! Any BH members have some must have recs?

Whoops away on holidays and forgot most of the above.

Keeping the razor hear protected is so very important so that you don't get a nasty cut when dipping into the bag

I love hacks!

I always save the sample perfume vials for traveling so I don't have to carry my bulky perfume bottles and depending on the trip's duration, I pour my foundation in a container to last my trip. It saves so much space and weight and gives me room to bring back more souvenirs

Some great tips to save space there - i always love the hotel mini toiletries for this very reason as it helps with saving space during travels and mini/sample size of products to help me travel more lightly

I tend to try to take travel sizes of skincare and makeup products with me on holidays. The more products I have, the more selection I have. I like the Christmas period where all the gift ranges are smaller product sizes gives you more opportunities to try before you buy. I also take eye masks and sheet masks with me or buy them on my trips so I can refrigerate them. I also buy travel containers from Muji before a trip to just take smaller samples of my favourite go to skincare items.

I've begun to take solid shampoo & conditioner bars when I travel, also solid face wash and moisturiser! (Well it's a serum but it's so nourishing I don't need moisturiser as well).

They save so much space and weight- and they are better for the environment

Well I learned two lessons last week while travelling for work: 1. Always take your own shampoo and conditioner. It doesn’t matter how fancy the complimentary (supposedly all natural) shampoo is, it will strip the magenta from your hair. Even though it has been successfully washed at least 10 times since colouring, I just watched the colour run down the drain. 2. The little water bottles they give out on the plane are a great size to refill and put in your handbag without weighing it down too much.

Tips 1,2,3 are pretty standard. I like using a hard case so that my products don't get unnecessarily squeezed by my packing. I like to think my makeup brushes and eyelash curlers last a bit longer.

I once packed my heated rollers and forgot to bring the clips, I was so sad

I always take a stash of small perfume vials with me when i travel. They are awesome and mean I have a great selection to choose from while on the road.

This article makes me feel so much better about the upcoming summer in Australia, will definitely keep this on file as a reminder.

Great tips

It takes so long to pack a makeup and skincare bag to take away

I love tinted sunscreen multitasking product save my time.
