Can Use Of Garlic Help In Faster Growth Of Facial Hair?

evening doc, I need to know whether or not garlic makes your facial hair grow faster or not, got a maroccan friend that keeps telling me that in islamic culture people rub garlic on their faces in order to stimulate it. I've read on most websites that its a myth but nonetheless, these guys have some mighty fine beards for 16 year olds

Hello,

I am really surprised to know that you want to use garlic for making facial hair to grow faster. This is not only injustice to your skin as well as can cause chemical burns which can make long term scars on the skin.

Garlic contains many chemical s which can burn your skin and therefore multiple of other problems. Do not try to use any such kind of things especially on face.

For improving the facial hair growth you can take lot of protein diet and under medical supervision you can take biotin tablets.

All the best.
