"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nThere's an easy way to know if you're doing a good job shielding your skin from UV rays: See if you have a freckle bikini. Yep, that's the term derms use for the outline of brown spots that form a visible pattern along your chest, shoulders, torso and upper thighs\u2014body areas where your bathing suit (or other skimpy top or bottoms) stops and your bare skin begins. Sure they're cute, but these freckles can also be signs of precancerous skin damage.So strip down and check yourself out in a full-length mirror. Follow the trail of your freckles and any other discolored marks: These are the areas you need to be more vigilant about slathering in sunscreen, so you avoid further skin damage. A cool trick? Apply sunscreen before you even get dressed. This way, you won't miss a spot hiding behind a bikini strap or shorts waistband.Want more info on how to protect your skin\u2014and that of the ones you love?
