خلفية ثقافية
In Chinese culture, sun protection is deeply linked to the aesthetic preference for 'fair skin' (白皮肤). While Westerners often seek a tan, many Chinese people view sun protection as the most important step in skincare to prevent spots and aging. This has led to the popularity of high-SPF products and 'face-kinis' at beaches.
The 'Three Verbs' Rule
You can use `涂` (tú), `抹` (mǒ), or `擦` (cā). They all mean the same thing here, but `涂` is the most standard for creams.
Spray vs. Cream
If you are using a spray bottle, don't use `涂`. Use `喷` (pēn). Saying `涂喷雾` sounds like you're trying to rub a mist!

What It Means
涂防晒霜 is your go-to phrase for sun protection. The verb 涂 means to spread or smear. 防晒霜 literally translates to 'anti-sun cream.' It is simple and direct. You are telling someone you are putting on lotion. It is a very practical, everyday expression.
How To Use It
You use it just like a normal verb-object phrase. You can say 我要涂防晒霜 (I want to apply sunscreen). You can also use it as a suggestion for others. It fits perfectly into your morning routine. It also works when you are already outside. Just remember that 涂 is the action of rubbing it in.
When To Use It
Use it whenever the sun is out. It is perfect for a beach day with friends. Use it before going for a hike. You can say it to your partner before a walk. It is common in group chats when planning trips. If you see a friend turning red, say it then! It shows you care about their skin health.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for spray-on sunscreen. For sprays, you should use the verb 喷 (pēn). So, you would say 喷防晒 instead. Also, do not use it for makeup foundation. Even if the makeup has SPF, use 化 (huà) for makeup. It sounds a bit clinical if used in a dark room. Save it for the daylight hours.
Cultural Background
In China, sun protection is a huge deal. Many people prefer to keep their skin pale. You will see people with umbrellas and long sleeves. Sunscreen is the invisible layer of this 'sun-armor.' It is not just about avoiding burns. It is about anti-aging and maintaining a 'fair' complexion. It is a multi-billion dollar industry in East Asia.
Common Variations
You can shorten it to 抹防晒 (mǒ fáng shài). 抹 is another word for 'smear' or 'apply.' Some people just say 擦防晒 (cā fáng shài). 擦 means to rub or wipe. All three verbs—涂, 抹, and 擦—are interchangeable here. 防晒霜 is the cream, but 防晒乳 is the lotion version.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
The phrase is neutral and extremely versatile. The only 'gotcha' is ensuring you use the correct verb (`涂` for cream, `喷` for spray).

Sun Protection is Care
Reminding someone to `涂防晒霜` is seen as a very caring gesture in China, similar to telling someone to 'drink more hot water'.
