sun-kissed
Golden from light
Sun-kissed describes skin, hair, or landscapes warmed and colored by exposure to sunlight.
Skin that's sun-kissed has a healthy glow or light tan; sun-kissed hair shows natural highlights from time outdoors.
The term suggests pleasant, moderate sun exposure rather than damage: Her sun-kissed shoulders, sun-kissed beaches of the Mediterranean.
Often used in advertising for products promising that golden look.
