German term (edited): die alltagsmüde Haut

(effects of) daily stress on the skin

a) I don't know why you have spelt it "der alltagsmüder Haut", when it should be 'die alltagsmüde Haut'.

b) Providing the source sentence/para always goes a long way in helping KudoZians help you better with translation suggestions.

c) I have obviously departed slightly from the structure of the asked term and reworded my rendering. Maybe it fits or you can even adapt it to suit your source (con)text?

A lapse, I apologise for the confusion.

Thank you so much, LittleBalu
agree Ingeborg Gowans (X) : I think the asker just quoted this term out of context (the absence) and in either case, it should be der alltagsmüden Haut or die alltagsmüde Haut, anyway
