Face Slimming Harness
Yes, you read that right. In the 1940s and 50s, people wore strappy masks that wrapped around the face and head, claiming to reduce double chins and sculpt cheekbones. Some had weights; others applied pressure. The promise? A facelift without the surgery—just mild suffocation and social embarrassment.
Wearing one made you look like a human sausage, and unsurprisingly, it didn’t work. The pressure often caused headaches, jaw pain, and occasionally left strap marks. Yet, they were sold in beauty catalogs everywhere. It’s hard to imagine anything like this existing today without instantly becoming a meme.
