Beauty standards have changed with the time, there's a lot of things women do now in the name of beauty from lash extensions to good spray tan hair, many things have changed now. But what if I tell you that almost 100's of years ago women did even more crazier and weirder things than today in the name of beauty. If you don't believe me just stick to the article to let yourself know about the beauty standards of the women in the past.

"A Full-Faced Swimming Mask Helped Protect Women’s Skin From The Sun, 1920s"

Well, that seems really terrifying and scary, if I ever saw that thing in a pool I'd just fly out of that place.

"Portable Hair Dryer, 1940s."

It just seems too ridiculous to carry such a big item just to dry up your hair for 5 minutes. Can't believe women actually used that.

"Faceless Beauty Contest In Cliftonville, 1936."

Well talk about objectification. Or maybe they wanted "Don't judge a book by its cover" concept.

"A Young Woman Holds Her Arms And Legs In Four Water Bathes With Electric Current, To Improve Blood Circulation, Circa 1938."

This is shocking! she seems to be in danger, I hope she at least has a specialist alongside her.

"Woman Tans Using A Suntan Vending Machine, 1949."

I wonder what chemical they used? probably something that would be labeled toxic today.

"The Bra Claimed To Develop And Strengthen The Bust And Was Designed To Vibrate While The Person Wearing It Was At Work. Brussel, 1971."

What exactly in a breast was it strengthening? And why did it need to vibrate ?
