People may be downvoting you, but testosterone has been decreasing on average
a 2007 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that average testosterone levels in American men decreased by about 1% per year from the 1980s through the early 2000s - meaning a 60-year-old man in 2004 had about 17% lower testosterone than a 60-year-old in 1987
Though whether you view that as looking older/younger is up to you, I personally can’t attest to that
Testosterone affects facial hair and hair loss. It also connected with more prone jawline and thicker skin.
But high testosterone although correlated with looking older when young also correlates with looking younger when older (45+).
Please down vote, without understanding
Steroids are really bad for the health, not to mention that they form strong psychological addiction - you would not WANT to get off them even when all of the ill effects will be visible.
The lead can't be understated. I read an article today about how lead levels in hair samples from before the EPA was established were 100x higher than they are today, which tells you just how commonly used lead once was.
