Start the summer as you mean to go on by slapping on an intensive conditioner once a week. MumKnowsBest loves Charles Worthington's Salon Shine Results Mineral Hair Spa (£5.37) which smells gorgeous and works in three minutes flat (or leave it on for longer, for a deeper treatment). At Boots and supermarkets nationwide.

Meant for mummies but sure to appeal to smaller style queens, too, Babyliss' new Studded Colour Bobby Pins (£3) come in an array of neon shades. Irresistably summery and a great way to keep flyaways at bay. At Boots or tel: 08705 133 191 for stockists nationwide.

A seasonal essential, keep the new, super-cute NIVEA SUN Children's Pocket Size SPF 30 or 50 (£4.89) in your handbag for those oops-forgot-the-suncream moments. The non-sticky, cinch to apply formula makes it perfect for school bags, too. Available nationwide.

We love a quick fix at MumKnowsBest, and Bobbi Brown's new Sheer Color Cheek Tint (£13.70) is just that. It only takes a second to swipe on this limited edition, translucent blush for the most natural-looking glow. Choose from 6 shades, depending on your skin tone. Available from June at Bobbi Brown counters nationwide, or visit www.bobbibrown.co.uk
