Aging isn’t a topic our youth-obsessed culture takes to very well. Using everything from makeup to digital manipulation in Photoshop, many try to hold the signs of aging at bay for as long as possible.

But one photographer decided to take aging head on in a video turned GIF series that shows just how much of an impact time has on our appearance. Fair warning, if you’re squeamish about aging, you might want pass on this one.

The original video surfaced at Dogva, and is simply titled “Aging Face Transformation.” It shows as ten photos of people in the prime of their youth are slowly replaced by photos of the same people many years later.

Each of the 10 transformations was then taken from the video and turned into a GIF by GifCraft. The rest, as they say, is viral history:

Some of the transformations are quite shocking, and it almost seems like the before and after show completely different people. Others are obviously the same person, just with a lot more wrinkles and a larger nose and ears (the body parts that never stop growing).

Check out all ten GIFs above for yourself and let us know what you think.
