A recent study showed how the stubble makes men look at least 10 years older than their age. This survey was undertaken with a panel of 300 people on board who were shown pictures of various celebrities who prefer changing their facial hair often and were asked to guess their age whether they were clean-shaven, or with a stubble, a moustache, a beard or a heavy beard, reported the Daily Star.
It was found that heavy beards, like the one recently worn by footballer Roy Keane, aged men most markedly - adding up to ten years to his age adjudging to look 50 with his bushy beard, as clean-shaven look on him made him seem just 40 years old.
David Beckham currently trims his beard and the panel aged him at 35 - four years younger than his real age - when he was clean-shaved, but he looked 40 with his current beard, while Robert Pattinson is 28 and he looked is real age with stubble but the panel said he was just 25 when he was clean-shaven. The research was carried out by Britain's leading hair transplant centre, Crown Clinic, in Manchester.
If you sport a moustache and are loving the look, here is how you can manage it better:
How to grow your beard faster?
Amla or the Indian gooseberry - effective for facial hair growth
It is said to be highly effective in increasing facial hair growth. It may be used alone or in combination with mustard leaves. Simply massage a little amla oil onto your face and leave it on for about 20 minutes; then rinse using cold water. The alternative is to wash and grind a few mustard leaves into a paste and mix in a few drops of amla oil into this. Apply this paste to your face, leave it on for about 15 minutes and then rinse with cold water. Do this about 4 times every week and you will observe your facial hair growth improving after a few weeks. (Read: Facial hair is back in demand)

For even better results, coconut oil may be combined with rosemary oil in a proportion of 10:1 (10 parts coconut oil with 1 part rosemary oil); this is important to prevent the essential oil from causing irritation of the face. Take a little of this oil mix onto a cotton ball and apply to the face; rinse with cool water after about 15 minutes.
