Some people think that beauty products are an unnecessary luxury, while others would argue that luxury is a necessity. Even people who love to travel understand the importance of having a few little tricks and tools on standby to help them not only look better but also feel better as well. Products that give us comfort and confidence no matter where we are in the world are not just nice-to-haves, but essential items in the traveling kit of anyone serious about taking care of their appearance.

These are some of the most popular luxury beauty products, and why they are so suitable for ladies with an ambition to see the world. Take the time to find beauty products like these ones before you go away so you can be sure of enjoying every moment of your trip confident in the knowledge that you are looking great.

• Personal Mani. Keeping your nails in good condition is not just about appearances. The last thing you want to have to deal with while you are on the road is a cracked nail. The Personal Mani fits neatly into the palm of your hand, is powered by a couple of AA batteries, and helps you to keep your nails in pristine condition. It is incredibly easy to use and provides impressive results with strong, shiny nails that last for days. This is particularly helpful for people who want to pack light as it removes the need to pack a complete repertoire of nail products, including fiddly little bottles and small tools that can be easily lost in among your other things.

• Air Cutter. Compact enough to take up very little room in your luggage, this clever little gizmo is ideal for people who are roughing it in the great outdoors or who plan on taking particularly long trips. Cutting hair might not seem like a priority on such journeys, but if you want to keep things minimal and tidy, including your appearance, it is ideal. It uses precision cutting blades and an internal vacuum to cut hair in minutes. A variety of attachments allow you to choose the right style, and then it is simply a case of letting the Air Cutter do the work. Perhaps most helpfully for the minimalist traveller is the fact that hair clippings get sucked into the gadget for quick, easy and convenient disposal.

• LifTight. No doubt about it, travel can be tiring, and even the looks of the most glamorous individuals can start to fade after a significant length of time on-the-go. When a quick trip to the spa or salon, or perhaps a sneaky makeover, is out of the question LifTight is a handy alternative. This lift serum from Dr Lewis Feder will fit neatly into your handbag and, after a couple of quick squirts, helps to make you look almost instantly fresher. Simply apply it to areas such as your eyes, lips, cheeks or neck to minimize the appearance of age lines and wrinkles. It is entirely invisible, can be used with or without make-up, takes only a couple of minutes to apply and the effects last for hours. Perfect for that finishing touch before a big night out. What’s not to like?

• Jewellery Tattoos. Finally, something to help you out if you are looking to inject a bit of sparkle and glamour into your travel. Let’s face it, just because you are away from home does not mean you stop wanting to impress with your appearance. Body jewellery is a hugely popular new trend, and it is easy to see why they are popular among people on their travels. These waterproof and non-toxic temporary transfers take up no more space than a few sheets of paper and are a quick and easy way of making any outfit look instantly that bit more fabulous, providing a new level of variety and versatility to your travel wardrobe. Simply pick your favorite from a range of designs, apply it to your skin and wait a few moments for it to dry before making your grand, and sparkly, entrance.

Traveling does not necessarily have to mean slumming it. Yes, it can be important to keep things basic but, even then, a few little items that do not make a huge difference to the size or weight of your luggage, but provide you with an innate sense of comfort, confidence and well-being, can make all the difference and will in fact help to enhance your enjoyment of the holiday overall.

So go on, spoil yourself!
