Hello Nairaland peeps, my friend is 23 but looks 28. This is really affecting his self esteem, he has lost quite a number of modelling gigs because most people think he reduced his age.
He developed facial hair at age 16 and started shaving at age 17. Due to the lack of proper shaving technique back then has resulted into hyper pigmentation. Is there any remedy?

Nothing to worry about, sometimes hormones go crazy at a particular point in one's life but correct or balance equation later on.

Just, drink lots of water, eat fruits like die, sleep well, exercise daily, just find happiness, maybe u join Chelsea so that u go dey get happiness....

Get quality soap and cream, dress neatly fine.

Above all, just focus on your hustle, come close to God, make money..

Cheers. U be man not woman, last last na money go make you fine fresh boy......

I doubt there is anything that can reverse the aging process. Slow it down, perhaps, but reverse outright, no.
I like to think that his age will eventually catch up with the look. I also think he should try out different hairstyles and beard looks to help with at least maintaining or looking a particular age. Finally, he should take care of his face. Wash and clean, use clean towels, clean pillowcases...etc and live a healthy lifestyle.
He WILL be fine

Whatever God created out of you, its for a purpose!
There is someone out there looking to have your exact frame.
I'm sure some physically disabled people would rather have what you have than the daily struggles some good through.
What you should do is look to God for purpose.

Broooo!! I am welcoming your "friend" to the "Club of Early Maturity". Welcome!, friend of Nairaland.com-member!
This is my story:
I started growing facial hair when i was barely out of primary school. My head hair was so curly, the secondary school teachers thought i was using Sporting Wave Cream on my head, and at such an early age! What blasphemy! I was forced to cut my hair to the skin. When they saw how the hair regrew and the waves came back, i was set free. Another immediately took offence because i was growing moustache at an early age. My classmates changed my name to sound like hair (in Yoruba). All these happened before i finished JSS 3. I became very self conscious.
Nevertheless, I got to acquire a sense and look of maturity beyond my age. Many were not really sure of my age and were often thinking twice before attempting some weird jokes with me. It was a mixture of good and bad. But more of the good.
Tell your friend to try and see the good and not only the bad. It can be seen as a gift, as well as a problem. It all depends on his/her attitude towards life.

When life gives you lemons, make some lemonades with it.

Good morning. Hyperpigmentation from shaving bumps/pseudofoliculitis barbae/ingrown hair is a common problem among blacks due to our curly tough hair. It is very much treatable.

-Stop shaving with shaving sticks. They cut too low to the skin and encourage ingrown hair.

-Learn to shave your own beard and neck by yourself with a personal clipper. You'll be more kind and gentle to yourself than overzealous barbers who scrape the neck vigorously while giving you major abrasions that heal with keratosis.

-Stop using alcohol based aftershave. They worsen hyperpigmentation.

-Use chemical exfoliants on your neck and face. I prefer 10% glycolic acid. Use twice a week and wash off in the morning. They break down dead skin cells and reveal a younger skin underneath.

-Make Vitamin C serum your friend. Apply every day before going out. It protects against sunburn while accelerating rate of new skin formation if you're using a chemical peel like glycolic acid.

-Stop washing your face with sponge. Use your palms to wash your face for at least 60 seconds, with a rich lather. Wash off your face, then bathe your body.

-If you need a good soap to use, I often recommend the papaya extract soap. It contains naturally occurring chemical peels from the papaya fruit.

-If you can't afford neither of glycolic acid, vitamin C serum, nor papaya extract soap, then focus on your neck with this product below. It stops bumps and gives you a smooth neck, jaw and face in one month. Use daily for two weeks, then twice a week going forward for maintenance.

Hey, why being negative about this frivolous thing? The advantage in looking older than your age supersede the disadvantage. if one door refuse to open there are 100's of doors that will open for him. I looked older at that age too and was able to mingled with older kids and that helped me a lot in life and guess what I look way younger than my mates now. Appreciate and make good use of what you have its all in your spirit and never physical.
