Do skincare sheet masks fall in the liquids category for carry ons?

Accepted answer

I found the site Your Europe - Luggage Restrictions which says in part

Liquids carried in the aircraft cabin such as aerosols, drinks, toothpaste, cosmetic creams or gels must be carried in a transparent plastic bag - maximum capacity 1 litre - and no container may hold more than 100 ml. Liquid containers larger than 100 ml must be placed in checked baggage. The volume restriction does not apply to medicines and baby food.

So that covers the cosmetics side of things.

This has a link to Information for air travellers (buried under See the rules on prohibited articles in your hand and hold luggage.

Under the section Preparing your luggage is a link List of prohibited articles in your hand luggage. which takes to a PDF that lists all of the usual bad things you can't take in hand luggage.

But nowhere in all of this is anything about the masks you want to carry, and as you are aware they don't seem to fit into the any of the previously mentioned categories. My best guess is that you will be fine as they are really akin to facial wipes and there is no need to present them for inspection.

My second guess is that you should be prepared for them to be confiscated from your hand luggage and only take the bare minimum with you on the plane. If they are not confiscated then you win!

You don't mention if you will have checked luggage, but if you do, that is where I would place the bulk of your masks.
