The Best Portable Beauty Gadgets On The Market
For Lifting & Sculpting
Halo Device, £379 | Ziip
It’s no coincidence that several beauty editors have raved about the Ziip Halo. It’s an investment, but worth a try if you want noticeable results. Harnessing powerful microcurrent and nanocurrent technology, this clever at-home device works on multiple levels, boosting collagen production, smoothing fine lines and maximising product absorption. It’s such an easy addition to your evening routine and you’ll find your skin appears fresher and more lifted.

For A Glow Boost
4-In-1 Skincare Wand, £119.99 (was £175) | Solawave
‘Small but mighty’ accurately sums up Solawave’s viral bestseller. Effective at targeting specific skin concerns like puffiness, dark spots, dullness and redness, it mainly works by channelling red light into the cells to supercharge the production of essential structural proteins. Ideal if you’re into minimal effort maintenance since it only requires a few minutes of daily commitment, the wand itself is slim and portable, so there’s no need to skip it if you’re travelling.

For On-The-Go Styling
Unplugged Cordless Hair Straighteners, £299 | ghd
Once upon a time, travel straighteners left a lot to be desired. But ghd’s Unplugged model is surprisingly powerful, and no less effective than your favourite at-home device. It’s expensive, but if you’re frizz-prone and aiming for sleek, silky-smooth hair, this could be the answer. Our only gripe is the battery life – longer than 20 minutes would be ideal – but if you’re in a pinch, this is so useful.

For A Thorough Cleanse
LUNA™ Play Plus 2, £29 | Foreo
A combination of make-up, SPF and daily grime will clog your pores if not removed properly, and if you’re guilty of skipping your evening cleanse, there’s nothing like a fun gadget to keep you on the straight and narrow. This palm-sized cleansing tool by industry leader Foreo delivers 8,000 pulsations per minute and works by gently exfoliating and boosting circulation to leave your skin feeling brighter and more renewed.

For Zapping Spots
SuperBlue Blemish Stick, £43 | Solaris Labs NY
There’s nothing more maddening than waking up to a painful spot, especially if you have a special event. This hardworking zapper by Solaris Labs NY targets active blemishes but also stops those brewing under the surface in their tracks. Blue light works wonders thanks to its antimicrobial properties but also eases inflammation. Simply use over problem areas for a couple of minutes for instant relief.

For Every Hair Eventuality
FlexStyle 5-In-1 Air Styler & Hair Dryer, £259.99 (was £279.99) | Shark Beauty
If you only have room in your suitcase for one hair tool, this is the one that deserves to make the cut. Shark is renowned for its forward-thinking stylers, and this is the one we recommend if you don’t want to restrict yourself to one look. The different attachments take a little getting used to, but once you’ve got the hang of them the possibilities are endless – we particularly rate the volumising round brush for refreshing bangs.

For A Super-Smooth Shave
The Trimmer Premium, £63 (was £70) | Meridian
Now the weather is warming up a bit, it makes sense to explore your shaving options. Meridian’s award-winning trimmer is really sophisticated, the ceramic blades are designed to seamlessly glide over the skin’s surface, without any annoying nicks. It’s one of the most versatile options out there, it can be used almost anywhere – legs, under-arms, you name it – and is suitable for both wet and dry skin.

For Close-Up Detail
Compact Sensor Beauty Mirror, £78.99 | Simplehuman
Simplehuman’s magnifying mirror is oddly compelling. Simulating natural sunlight, it lets you see everything in forensic detail – a game-changer if you’re plucking your brows or simply touching up your make-up in the back of a cab. Criminally underrated as far as beauty gadgets go, it even has a handy ring attachment, so it feels secure in your palm.
