I started propecia about a year ago, and a makeup artist I work with noticed that my skin had gone gray. I actually went shades lighter. I also noticed facial bloat and that the texture of my skin was less robust. Does reduced DHT age skin? When I went off propecia, two weeks later my skin looked about 5-10 years younger. I’m 28 and a Norwood 2. I started propecia early to hold on to my hair. I’ve always looked young for my age. But on propecia I looked older. Did reduced DHT contribute to this?
