dewiness

Dawn grass quality

Dewiness is the quality of being covered with or resembling dew—that fresh, moist appearance of morning grass or a just-washed face.

The word often describes skin that looks hydrated and luminous rather than matte: The moisturizer promised dewiness without greasiness.

Figuratively, dewiness can suggest freshness or innocence: the dewiness of youth.
