Young or Fresh Faced

Question

Hello, just wondering, does young or fresh faced work better in this sentence?

He lay in the gutter for hours before he was stirred by a young/fresh faced woman who possessed a remarkable likeness to Johanna – only she appeared to be in her early 20s, having lost the childlike innocence which, to him, made Johanna beautiful.

I was thinking that, but I'd ideally just like one. Would fresh faced work OK? <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/>

Yes it would, especially given that you mention she's 20 years old later in that sentence.
Remember to hyphenate it though (fresh-faced woman).
