sun-damaged
Bleached by rays
Sun-damaged describes something harmed by prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Skin becomes sun-damaged through years of ultraviolet radiation, showing wrinkles, spots, or discoloration: Her sun-damaged face showed decades of outdoor work.
The term applies to faded fabrics, cracked leather, or weathered paint—anything degraded by the sun's effects.
