With summer and Amazon Prime Day in full swing, you might be in the middle of weighing up what can actually fit in your suitcase for your next holiday — and if you are, I've found some great portable beauty-tech deals that could make that decision easier.

From a foldable hair dryer to a silicon LED face mask that can easily slide into the lining of your suitcase, I've made sure this round-up of beauty tech deals is filled with only devices that are light, transportable, and USB-C charged.
I haven't tried all of these products myself, but other members of the TechRadar team have, and they can confirm that they're worthwhile investments. For example, Josephine Watson is a big fan of light-therapy devices, particularly the Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask for $149.99 (was $249) at Amazon in the US.
If you're in the UK, the best saving I've found is on the Ulike Air 10 IPL at Amazon, where it's £246.99 (was £399.99). I've been using this myself, and it's a huge saving compared to going to the salon for expensive laser hair-removal treatments. You won't be able to go out in the sun after using it, but if you're on a longer trip it's light enough to pack in your luggage.
I've also snuck in few more gadgets that aren't strictly beauty tech, like the Oura Ring 4 for wellness tracking, and some earplugs — traveling can be be a noisy affair, so anything that can help you block out sound is useful.
Growing up in Australia meant that if I wanted to visit family overseas I had to prepare for a grueling 24-hour flight, confined to a seat for much of the time; and while that was fine when my legs were shorter, it's no longer the most thrilling experience. These gadgets won't make economy class glamorous, but they will make it a bit more bearable.
