For On-The-Go Styling

Unplugged Cordless Hair Straighteners, AED 1,110 (was AED 1,710) | 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, AED 248 | 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, AED 215 | 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, AED 899 (was AED 1,399) | 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, AED 250 (was AED 276) | 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

LED Vanity Mirror, AED 115 | CONAIR

This 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 folds up neatly so you can pack it away quickly wherever you are for ease.

For Lifting & Sculpting

Trinity Facial Toning Device, AED 1,619 | NUFACE

When it comes to non-invasive facial sculpting, few devices are as trusted as the NuFACE Trinity. A favourite among professionals and beauty insiders, it uses low-level microcurrent technology to stimulate facial muscles – toning, lifting and contouring with regular use. Think of it as a five-minute workout for your face, helping to firm sagging skin, soften fine lines and boost radiance over time. For best results, pair it with a conductive gel.
