weathered faces
Time-marked, sun-creased countenances
Weathered faces show the effects of prolonged exposure to sun, wind, and hard living—lined, roughened, often deeply tanned.
The phrase evokes outdoor laborers, sailors, ranchers, or anyone whose face bears the marks of time and elements: The weathered faces of fishermen who'd spent decades on the water.
It suggests experience and endurance, sometimes hardship.
