Spreading sun shield
Applying sunscreen is the act of spreading sun-protective lotion or spray onto exposed skin before sun exposure.
The phrase emphasizes the physical process—rubbing it in, covering all areas, reapplying after swimming: Don't forget to apply sunscreen to your ears and the back of your neck.
Often shortened to putting on sunscreen.
