I'm a 23 year old male. I have good masculine physique. I workout consistently and have a good nutritional diet. I sleep 7-8 hours a day. And have good water intake. But my facial hair growth is far more underdeveloped. My brother also have this issue, and he checked his hormonal activities as consulted by a skin specialist. And it's all normal. All my other secondary sexual characters are in balance. Is there anything I can do to rectify my issue?

No there is nothing to be done for your case. Not all men find it easy to grow a beard/moustache. The rate of growth of facial hair mainly depends on your genetics. You can?t change the genetic makeup but certain things can be done to speed up the growth rate to the maximum potential. Coconut oil massage is one of the ways in which you can increase the growth of facial hair. Combine coconut oil with rosemary oil (10 parts coconut oil with 1 part rosemary oil). Apply the mixture to the face with the help of a cotton ball. Rinse with cool water after about 15 minutes. Do these thrice a week for best results. Amla (the indian gooseberry) can stimulate the growth of facial hair. You can use it alone or combine it with mustard leaves. Massage amla oil onto your face and leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing it using cold water. Grind a few mustard leaves into a paste and mix it with a few drops of amla oil and use it in the same way. Or you can try this. Mix one teaspoonful of ground cinnamon bark with two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice. Apply the mixture over the face and then rinse with cold water after 20 minutes. Use this remedy about twice a week for good results. Combine eucalyptus oil with any carrier oil (olive oil or sesame oil). Mix the two and massage it onto the facial skin. Leave it on for at least 20 minutes before rinsing with cold water. When skin is moisturized, there is a better environment for facial hair to grow quickly. Moreover, there shouldn?t be oil, dirt and dead skin that hampers your hair follicles to breakthrough. Your facial hair grows much faster when your face is consistently kept clean and moisturised. The two crucial nutrients key to promote healthy, fast hair growth (including facial hair growth) are proteins and saturated fat. Incorporate healthy sources of protein (such as beans and fish) and saturated fat (eggs and animal fat) to promote facial hair growth. Exercising regularly improves blood circulation which is the key to stimulating hair growth. Physical activity aid nutrients reach the hair follicles in your face. Take out 20 minutes for exercise every day as it can make a big difference. You need the balance of vitamins a, c, and e in order to promote facial hair growth. This help maintains your follicles and sebum and improves circulation to create a better environment for the beard to grow.

This could be genetic and in this case supplements can only do so much for you.
