Why does this hair grow on the chin as we age? A doctor explains to us why this famous chin hair grows back relentlessly, especially as menopause approaches. “It’s a physiological phenomenon.
We are all born with pilosebaceous follicles which form a layer of hair on the surface of the body. We mainly have them on areas sensitive to hormones, such as the face and therefore the chin,” says Doctor Gautier Doat, medical director of Avène.
