wrinkled skin

Time-worn outer layer

Wrinkled skin is skin that has developed creases, folds, or furrows—typically from aging, sun exposure, or dehydration.

The phrase appears in descriptions of elderly people, weathered faces, or skin that has lost its elasticity: Her wrinkled skin told the story of decades spent working outdoors.

Wrinkled skin on fingers after bathing is temporary and unrelated to aging.
