When we travel, we love packing our bags with our favorite beauty products for baths, facials, and maintaining glowing skin on the go. But when we’ve left part of our toiletry bag with our go-to beauty products at home, we’re grateful that we can use care products provided by our hotel.

And yet, believe it or not, a former hotel manager recommended never making this mistake and recommended not using these products at all! Surprising, right?

Don’t ever use the products in hotel bathrooms!

On the social media platform TikTok, @travelinghotelmanager shares her best expert advice for travelers who opt for hotel stays. She highlights the dos and don’ts for an optimal experience.

One of her most shared tips is never to use the dispenser bottles in the hotel shower to wash your body and hair. Unlike the sample products offered by the hotel that are individually wrapped and therefore safer, these large bottles in the showers are less secure. Because they are not always sealed, ill-intentioned individuals could pour just about anything into them. Products to which you could be allergic, chemicals, you name it. This revelation has made waves, with the video already receiving 1 million views and being shared nearly 27,000 times!

For the best experience, she advises always using your own products. Travel-sized products are easy and convenient to use, so you can recreate your home bathroom experience, wherever you are — including during your hotel stays!
