Old School Beauty Treatments That Should Stay Vintage

A Vacuum For Your Face

If you ever stuck the end of a vacuum to your face as a kid, then you might be able to relate to this photo. These contraptions were around in the 1930s and promised people smoother skin. It also probably came with assumptions of cleaner skin, but now we know beauty techniques like these are filled with just that: assumptions. It also looks a bit terrifying for the patient in this photo.

It actually kind of looks like someone is going through surgery here, and we imagine that same type of panic was going through this poor woman's mind during the whole process.
