Opinion of the stars: why do photo editors cause mental problems among young people?

The use of various filters and editors on Instagram has long been a familiar thing. Photo editors, like sugar for tea, are able to "sweeten" pictures, but they also have a negative side. In addition to funny ears or changing shadows in photos, new applications allow you to completely change your appearance. Because of this, young people begin to suffer from complexes, striving for a non-existent ideal. Famous beauties experienced the effect of photo editors on themselves and were shocked by the results.Applications that do not have age restrictions for users make it possible to lose weight, change your hairstyle, expand your smile, whiten your teeth and make yourself much more spectacular in photos. In addition, with the help of filters in the picture, you can get younger or make bright makeup.

Four famous beauties decided to participate in the experiment. They took photos and passed them through popular photo editors - FaceApp and BodyApp. Their reaction to the result was very violent.

The 36-year-old TV star always posts photos on social networks without processing. Seeing how her appearance in the picture changed after using the apps, she was shocked. Casey wondered what people would think when they saw her, the real one, in real life.

The 23-year-old Swedish football player and TV star is an activist of the body positive movement. The girl uses social networks to broadcast about love for herself and her body. The results of the photo processing shocked her. Malin believes that editing beyond recognition should be banned. Applications that make it possible to radically change the appearance are really dangerous and can disrupt the psyche of users of social networks. They destroy the normal idea that beauty comes from within.

The 32-year-old singer did not recognize herself in the edited picture at first. She believes that such applications make users feel imperfect and inferior. But the most disturbing thing is that when Fleur looked at the altered photo a few hours later, she was no longer as shocked as at the beginning. The beauty had to compare the original and the edited photo again to remind herself how she really looks. The singer does not use photo editors and urges other users of social networks not to improve their photos.

The 33-year-old model and TV presenter suffered from dysmorphia, a mental illness associated with worries about the shortcomings of her own appearance. After seeing how the apps changed her in the photo, Bianca was worried that young people might face the same problem.

Not only ordinary people, but also stars are seriously interested in the FaceApp application. Here are 30 celebrities who have changed their gender with this photo editor.
