One of them, Aki, 33, believes that looking young leads to more romantic opportunities and greater trust and attention at work, according to Japan media ABEMA News.
His obsession with looking young began a decade ago after a stinging comment from his boss about his thinning hair making him look old. Around the same time, he went through a break-up.

Determined to turn things around, Aki created a strict anti-ageing routine.
He wears sunscreen every day rain or shine, does not smoke, skips late nights, exercises regularly, and visits beauty salons for skincare. He also has routine stomach check-ups.
Aki says his skin looks as youthful as it did 10 years ago.
