Well this is it then.... (ageing)

[thesnob20]

Grey hair coming through thick and fast - (coarse and sticks up like a scarecrow so that's nice), skin is dry as the Sahara and I'm now sprouting thick, dark hairs on my chin

I'm not even 30.

Any tips for a) accepting this and b) making myself feel less like an ogre?

Have you had a health check recently? Sometimes facial hair can mean a hormone imbalance or something like PCOS.

Yes, you're very young for this, so maybe get your hormone levels checked.

Soon you will discover the satisfaction of plucking a particularly thick facial hair! (...just me?)
