I’m 26M and lately I’ve been trying to improve my overall appearance. My face always seems to look tired, especially around my eyes, even when I don’t feel particularly tired. I also have quite a few gray hairs in my beard already, which feels early at 26 , (Because of which i dont know how to trim or shape it properly , i usually just grow it or trim the sides , where it has gray hairs) I’m 163 cm tall and currently growing my hair out. My hair is actually fairly thick, but under bright lights I can see my scalp and sometimes it makes my hair look thinner than it actually is. The bigger problem is that my hair feels extremely dry and can look rough and frizzy. I’m currently using finasteride and minoxidil and I’ve seen some improvement in my hair, so I’m not sure if the scalp visibility under bright lighting is actually something I should worry about or if it’s normal. Another thing I’m struggling with is sleep. I work from 8 AM to 6 PM, get home around 6, then go to the gym (started recently ) around 7:30 PM. I usually finish around 9 or 9:30, then I have to shower and have my protein shake. By around 11 PM I eat dinner, and then I usually sleep around 12–12:30 AM, sometimes even 1 AM. Then I have to wake up and repeat the same routine for work. I know getting more sleep would probably help with the tired-looking face, but I’m not sure how to realistically sleep earlier without changing my whole routine. How do you guys manage sleep when working a full day and going to the gym in the evening? What would you recommend I focus on to improve my overall appearance, especially the tired face, gray beard, dry hair and sleep? ALSO , i dont smoke and drink occasionally (maybe 1once in 3 or 2 months ) submitted by /u/Aggravating_Sport495
