laughter lines
Joy-etched facial marks
Laughter lines are the wrinkles that form around the eyes and mouth from years of smiling and laughing.
The term reframes aging as evidence of a joyful life rather than mere deterioration: She wore her laughter lines proudly.
Also called crow's feet when referring specifically to the eye area.
