It’s not on common to go weeks without looking into a mirror when you’re on the road. Sometimes you’re just too busy having fun and experiencing life to worry about anything else. That’s what traveling’s all about – fun!
When you do finally take a peek into the mirror and remember all those girl things you used to do prior to traveling, don’t despair – be prepared.
5 Easy and Simple Grooming Tools for Travel
➊ Unruly Eyebrows
Tweezerman Mini Tweeze Set Brow To Go
Solution: Quality mirror time is hard to come by when you’re traveling making it easy to forget to pluck eyebrows. Carry small, inexpensive tweezers for weekly maintenance.
Outcome: Tidy and neat, plucked eyebrows give the face a fresh appearance.
➋ Dead Skin on Feet
Tatania Pumice Sponge Block
Solution: Feet take a beating during a Round-the-World Trip when you constantly live in flip flops. Use a small pumice sponge to scrub your feet on a daily basis.
Outcome: Smooth heels feel fresh and clean. They also look great in flip flops.
➌ Rigid, dirty nails
Tweezerman Nail Rescue Kit
Solution: Use a mini, lightweight manicure kit including nail file and double sided cuticle pusher to give your fingernails and toenails a well groomed appearance.
Outcome: With a little effort and small initial investment, you can easily give yourself a DIY manicure and pedicure.
➍ Bare Hands
OPI – Mini Lacquer Collection
Solution: Carry a tiny nail polish jar to give yourself an occasional touch up.
Outcome: Add a bit of polish to spruce up your feminine vibe. A little dab of polish can make you feel girly again. Nail polish is one of the best accessories to any travel outfit.
➎ Unruly Hair
Goody Simple Styles Hair Pins
Solution: Carry bobby pins and other hair pins for a quick fix when nothing else will do.
Outcome: Without styling tools we’re left at the mercy of our natural locks. Use hair pins to hold your hair in place, make a neat bun, or create stylish looks.

I really don’t want to look like Frida Kahlo therefore i really need to do my Eyebrows every other day. I can get really creative and I do whatever it takes to “look” good while traveling/on the road, ha ha. Thank you for the tips.
I agree! don’t think many of us want to have the “Frida look” 😉
do you have any beauty tips on what it takes to “look” good on the road?
With wild and frizzy curly, I do love me some pins 😀
me, too! they’re beginning to be my new daily hair accessories more out of necessity than style!
Hahaha! I’ve become a master at doing my eyebrows on various forms of transportation. In Africa I would sit there on the overland truck with my trusty mirror and tweezers as we bumped along the Namibian gravel roads. It’s a talent that’s taken years to perfect… but I don’t want to start looking like Sasquatch! 😛
Talk about tweezing pro, those trucks are BUMPY. Sounds like you have it down!
Beauty is painful. no pain. no gain 😉
