EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1940 with this vintage advertisement for the Perihel Mixry Sunlamp. In an era before sunscreen and SPF ratings, artificial sunlight was all the rage for those seeking health and vigor. The Perihel Mixry promised to bring you the benefits of sunshine without having to step foot outside.
Imagine a world where tanning beds were a novelty and ultraviolet rays were seen as a beauty treatment rather than a danger. The sleek design of the sunlamp apparatus is reminiscent of a bygone era when electric light was still considered cutting-edge technology.
This print captures the essence of an era when people sought out new ways to improve their health and appearance. The promise of radiant skin and increased vitality was enough to entice consumers into trying out this innovative product.
As we look back on this piece of history, we can't help but marvel at how far we've come in terms of understanding the effects of UV rays on our bodies. While the Perihel Mixry may have been revolutionary in its time, today we know better than to expose ourselves to excessive amounts of artificial sunlight.
So take a trip down memory lane with this nostalgic advertisement for the Perihel Mixry Sunlamp, and appreciate how far we've come in our quest for beauty and wellness.
