Easter looks set to be a scorcher, which means you will need to stock up on some sun protecting supplies if you want to avoid the lobster look come Tuesday. Unless you're heading off for a holiday abroad, portable mini products are a good bet.

Nivea Sun has a great pocket size sun lotion in SPF 30, £6.42 (boots.com), which is ideal for protecting on-the-go. For targeted protection (if you tend to end up with a burnt nose or cheeks), use Elizabeth Arden’s new Sun Defense Stick SPF 50, £15 (debenhams.com) - it combines the benefits of the iconic Eight Hour Cream (calming and hydrating) with a high SPF and it comes in a handy stick - genius. Finally, don't forget your lips, Bobbi Brown's Lip Balm with SPF 15, £14 (bobbibrown.co.uk), comes in a super chic pot and imparts a subtle sheen; for a cheaper alternative sun brand Banana Boat has an SPF 30 lip balm with skin nourishing aloe vera and vitamin E for just £3.05 (boots.com).

Oh, and I'd recommend you get yourself an umbrella too (Topshop has a great selection), this is Britain after all.
