Does your facial hair get darker as you age? What to know about hair changes

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, graying is a normal part of aging, though it often occurs later in facial and body hair than in scalp hair. In some individuals, however, especially men in their teens and twenties, facial hair often darkens and thickens, while later in life, it begins to lighten or gray. This dynamic process is influenced by a number of factors, including genetics, hormones, and overall health.
