weathered skin
Exposure-marked outer covering
Weathered skin is skin that shows the effects of prolonged exposure to sun, wind, and harsh conditions—lined, leathery, roughened.
The term often describes farmers, sailors, or others who work outdoors: His weathered skin spoke of decades on the water.
It can suggest rugged experience or premature aging, depending on context.
