sunkissed
Glowing from outdoors
Sunkissed describes skin, hair, or complexion that has been gently bronzed or lightened by sun exposure—suggesting a healthy, natural glow rather than a deep tan: Her sunkissed cheeks glowed after the beach vacation.
The word evokes warmth and outdoor leisure.
It extends to anything touched by sunlight in an appealing way: sunkissed tomatoes from the garden.
Also spelled sun-kissed.
