Pictures in the mirror reflect the future you

MIRROR, mirror on the wall, what will I look like in years to come at all? If you really want to know, ask French researchers who have come up with what they call a Persuasive Mirror which allows you to look at your future face.

You can see what you used to look like by gazing at old photographs. The only trouble is they may make you reflect on years of debauchery and then, as these photographs above show, it is too late.

The Wicked Queen in Snow White had a mirror that told the truth, but this mirror will tell the ugly truth — five or 10 years on. It will offer a reflection of the future after years of binge drinking and junk food have taken their toll.
