peach fuzz

Teenage facial hair

Peach fuzz is the fine, soft, nearly invisible hair on human skin—especially the downy growth on a young person's face before coarser hair develops.

The term comes from the velvety coating on peaches.

It often describes an adolescent boy's first facial hair: He's only got peach fuzz on his chin.
