Getting old is a privilege that not many people have. With age comes wisdom, patience, and certainty that ensures stability in everyday life. Many of us look up to experienced leaders and believe they have the know-how to secure a bright future.

So, why do so many people want to avoid aging? When you look around, it seems that many are prepared to do a lot to look and feel younger. Expensive creams, cosmetic and surgical procedures, insanely strict routines—anything to keep that clock from ticking.

The people on this list might have not spent a lot of time and money on their looks, but they did put a lot of effort into photoshopping their wrinkles out. After all, who cares about how you look in real life—it’s all about looking flawless online. Scroll down and see for yourself how erasing too many flaws might look quite a bit off.

    I find it hilarious that people pay a lot for restylane injections in their lips and then minimize ‘em in photos. How about not overinflating ‘em in the first place?

    Wait: This is Vera W**g. She’s never been known for her beauty but rather her brains and talent, so I don’t understand why she’s do this. Maybe a staffer is trying to “help”? If so, locate and fire the staffer, as this in no bueno.

    I’m pretty sure the last time we saw Frenchy, she was announcing how she’s not a secks worker. If she’s advertising using the photo on the left, all her customers are gonna want refunds when they get a glimpse of her.

    Strangely, he appears to have less hair in the shopped one. I looove window pane checks, so aside from the bow tie, I prefer what he’s wearing in the “before” photo.
