This image is one for our weird beauty file. The picture is from an advert in an old magazine and shows ‘The Glamour Bonnet’, which was created in 1941.

This bonnet was said to reduce the air pressure around the head and stimulate the circulation in order to aid skin health.

The inventor of the device stated it provides an effect “…similar to what a person feels who climbs a high mountain or flies high in a plane”. Crikey, who knew the secret to looking good is the oxygen deprivation condition, hypoxia?
