sunscreen use

Applying skin shield

The application of protective lotion or spray to shield skin from ultraviolet radiation.

Sunscreen use appears frequently in health recommendations and dermatology contexts: Daily sunscreen use reduces skin cancer risk.

The phrase often functions as a mass noun describing the practice generally rather than any single application.
