fresh-faced

Young and wholesome

Fresh-faced describes someone with a youthful, healthy, wholesome appearance—smooth skin, bright eyes, an unweathered look.

It often implies inexperience or naivety alongside the physical description: a fresh-faced recruit, fresh-faced college graduates entering the workforce.

The term suggests someone who hasn't yet been worn down by life.
