This photo of Cindy Crawford has never been Photoshopped - and now it's going viral

It's not a secret that the majority of photos we see of models and celebrities have been digitally altered.

Whether a photo editor is using Photoshop to smooth out skin, remove a zit, or make an arm look thinner, it's rare that we ever get to see the original photos; what the subjects look like before they're made to look flawless.

Now, one such "before" picture of Cindy Crawford is making its way around the internet...and everyone is loving what they're seeing.
