peach skin

Soft downy exterior

Peach skin is the thin, fuzzy exterior of the fruit, often removed before eating because of its slightly rough texture.

The term also describes a type of soft fabric with a fine, velvety nap that mimics that texture: The blouse has a peach skin finish.

Peach skin can describe human skin that's smooth, soft, and lightly downy—the complexion of youth.
