wisened

Dried with time

Wisened means shriveled or dried up, typically describing skin or features that have become wrinkled with age: a wisened face, wisened hands.

The word is a variant spelling of wizened, which is more common.

Both suggest the withered appearance that comes from years or harsh conditions.
