Old School Beauty Treatments That Should Stay Vintage

The Oxygen Take Awayer

Actually called the Glamour Bonnet (our name is better), this device and mask were marketed as a skin treatment during the 1940s. The device simulates the oxygen levels one might feel at high altitudes, thus lowering the air pressure. The thought process behind this was that this simulation would somehow stimulate your complexion. We aren't too sure, but basically, people were looking to improve their skin using this contraption.

These were invented by a woman named D.M. Ackerman in Hollywood, California, of course. The window seen here is so that the patient can read a book while slowly suffering asphyxiation.
