Star on television demonstrating skincare product (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sunscreen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'skincare product' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'star on television' is the wordplay.
'star' becomes 'sun' (the Sun is a star).
'on television' becomes 'screen' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sun'+'screen'='SUNSCREEN'

'demonstrating' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sunscreen that I've seen before include "UV-blocking lotion" , "Tanning protection" , "protection from harsh light" , "summer holiday preparation" , "Cream" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
