Hand luggage only; suncream/aftersun tactics?

lyle1993

Travelling to Majorca only for four days; only taking hand luggage but struggling to get around the 100ml limit for suncreams, extremely few and far between are suncreams below 100ml. What is everybody's tactic with this normally when only taking hand luggage?

Either buy once past security or buy in resort.

Leave behind what isn't used.

Decant into small bottles? Buy some airside and then donate to others before leaving? buy some in Majorca?

Poundland sell a Malibu Suncream which I think is 30 or 50ml. I also take some spray on sun lotion that I decant into a 100ml pump-spray bottle that I bought in Wilco.

Buy a full size bottle from Boots once airside at your U.K. departure airport.

Buy a bigger bottle, go to pound shop and get a silicone 100ml bottle and put it in that. Easier to squeeze the last bit out than the harder plastic bottles and have a smaller opening so sand can't get in as easily. I got a Superdrug face spf30 50ml too. Last year when I was off to Spain for a girl's weekend I just got the Malibu from the pound shop, hubby can't stand the smell of coconut so can't take it when I go away with him:mad:

If there's only you then Poundland has 100ml Malibu bottles and i also got one called sun and sand spf 30 spray lotion 75ml from there for £1.
You can buy empty bottles from the pound shops to fill from a big bottle or if there's 2 or more of you then buy a normal size bottle after security.
Wouldn't advise buying abroad unless you find pound shop type shops, depends where your going in Majorca, large resort or small one.

After you have been through security with your 1 litre plastic bag, which is probably full with other liquids, go to Boots in the duty free area and buy what you need.

Boots sell small bottles of sun cream.

It's worth pointing out that it doesn't have to be below 100ml, it can be a 100ml bottle and still be ok.

The once a day P20 suncream is available in a 100ml spray bottle and that's what i take in hand luggage if i don't have any hold luggage.

Although you're limited to 100ml bottles you can take on more than 100mls of a liquid providing it is in seperate containers and you can also carry on upto 1 litre of liquirds providing it fits into the bag.
