Take Facial Sheet Mask Through The Security Checkpoint

The TSA mentioned wipes on their websites, but they don’t specifically mention anything about traveling with facial sheet masks.
So I did check Twitter for more clarification.
Sensei wanted to bring her sheet face mask, and the TSA replied that facial sheet masks are allowed in carry-on baggage and they don’t need to be in a quart sized bag.
But if you are traveling with other type of facial sheet masks that contain liquid in the package, it must follow the TSA 3-1-1 liquid rule in carry-on bags.
As you may already know the TSA has strict rules about flying with liquids in carry-on luggage, you can only bring containers no more or less than 3.4 oz or 100 ml and are secured in a single quart size bag.
Here is an answer from the TSA customer service.
Ratchael asked the TSA if she can bring this Burt’s bees single-use sheet mask that has liquid inside, and the TSA replied that ” liquid facial sheet masks are allowed in carry-on bags. However if there is liquid in the package, it must follow our liquids rule in carry-on bags. “
Even if an item is generally allowed on planes the final decision is for the TSA officer at the airport, if he decides that an item is dangerous so you will need to leaver check in your items, but this won’t happen with facial sheet masks which is totally safe.
NOTE
It is better to pack your facial sheet masks near to the top of your carry-on bag, or in a separate bag so the security officer can reach them easily if they block the view of the x-ray machine.
Can You Bring a Facial Sheet Mask in Checked Luggage?
You can place any type of face sheet mask in checked luggage without any restrictions.
Even facial sheet masks that contain liquids are good to go in your checked bag.
The TSA liquid rules are strict only for carry-on baggage, you can place more than 3.4 oz / 100 ml in checked baggage without any restrictions.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are traveling with a small amount of face sheet masks, it is better to place them inside your carry on bag.
Of course, you always have the option of purchasing a facial sheet mask on your destination, but if you bring it from your trip you will need to make sure that your facial sheet mask is well protected inside your checked bag.
Never pack expensive items in checked baggage
