Unfortunately this is a problem that you might not be able to change. Hair growth is a normal function of physiology that is necessary for survival among creatures in the animal kingdom, particularly mammals. The genetic disposition for this function is somewhat dormant in the human animal because of our reliance on technology like electric heat and even clothing to keep us warm.
However, the growth of facial hair is triggered by the introduction of new or more abundant male hormones like testosterone, which starts during the developmental period known as puberty. Typically, males begin puberty between the ages of 9 and 12. This is when the hormones start to become active which then translates into many physical changes. Most boys continue to experience these changes until their mid to late teens. Unfortunately for some young men, puberty can continue even later.
Because facial hair is pretty reliant on hormonal factors, there are several things you can do to try to promote the production of more male hormones:
Increasing your muscle mass informs the body that you plan to participate in strenuous physical activity, which is largely the reason for hormones like testosterone. Therefore a weight-gaining, muscle-building exercise program will probably help.
Similarly, reducing your body fat can decrease the presence of hormones like estrogen, which is primarily a hormone found in the female body. Of course, a healthy diet helps the body to repair imbalances, which might be the cause of this particular issue.
You can also take a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement that promotes strong hair growth
Avoid things that promote estrogen stimulation. There are many plant sources that contain phytoestrogens, which are plant chemicals that stimulate estrogen production, and are often recommended to women who may have severe PMS or Menopausal symptoms.
Avoid alcohol, which raises estrogen levels in the bloodstream.
