BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
And now the ladies go for the radioactive full body treatment known as a tanning bed. Some things change and some don't.
i don't know anyone who still uses those, these days most people use fake tan instead
m mm My mom still uses it on a biweekly basis despite my constant nagging against it, so clearly those places are still getting business unfortunately...
oh i'm sorry, it's so awful that people can profit from those. i really hope she converts to spray tans for her skin
m mm Well companies profit from worse crimes than that, that's just the way things are. And i don't believe she will, i've tried to push her towards them but you know how parents are, no matter how much older you get they still feel they're right to some extent. Thanks for your concern though ^_^
And laser! For reshaping fat, removing hair and reducing pores!
No wonder women had "that glow" back then. They were radio active.
‘She mustn’t be... overcooked’ I have no idea why that was so funny!
We just watched someone get cancer omfg
"And is said to be a certain cure for skin blemishes,"
As the masseuses dawn their protective goggles...
This is both hilarious and terrifying! Radioactive?! Gosh xD
it all sounds very cancer-inducing...
I guess anti-aging means dying young.
Underrated comment
Found this while doing research for my esthetics course and i'm so glad we've moved on from this. Scary!
I think I got skin cancer from watching this
Same here my eyes are now tumors
Just melts those years away (as well as your health)! Yikes! 😵
"figuring out just what gives western complexions their zip!".... all races have people with bad and good complexions. My mom is indian, never had a pimple and looks 10 yrs younger than her age! I've also seen some beautiful white skin!
Sharmeila Cherla This is exactly how white people have been sending subliminal messages that "white is right". "western complexion their zimp" 😂😂😂 I'm sorry but westerners have the worst skin compared to the rest of the world.
Realistically white people have the worse skin
Although it sounds creepy and disturbing, they did use radioactive stuff and especially radium in a lot of things. Those things were so new back then that they didn't know it was cancer-causing. Apparently it was effective as a beauty treatment untill they realized they either got cancer or those who drank a lot of radium-infused water or ate chocolate wit radium in it lost their jaws. Their jaws literally dropped off. Or at least that's what I read.
but these people did not get cancer.
i had a raium watch. disappeared one day. the folks took it back. guess they heard about it somehwre
WTF did i just hear?!!! RADIOACTIVE FACIAL??? hahahah oh geez louis!
radioactive studd was very popular for a couple of years in the west. Yopu could boy radioactive water, skincareproducts, toothpaste, go on radioactive spa-treatments like this one for example. It was in fashion - until people realiced that it was harmful.
First they say "radioactive" and hen later the refer to them as "radio waves." So I wonder what it actually was.
Well now we know why our grandmothers were tough as nails...if they survived that they could handle anything.
That is insane! I know we use dangerous chemicals and products now but DAMN! It's crazy what was acceptable just a few decades ago and what we've learned since then.
I’m getting claustrophobic just watching strap that mask on her face! I usually love these videos but I had to stop this one as soon as the mask went on! 😳😱🤦🏻♀️
Well, it looks like they graduated from lead and mercury to radioactive ingredients... and let's not forget they douched with Lysol 😐
Oh Lor'! I never heard of that. Considering the knowledge of radioactivity dangers even then it isn't surprising it didn't take off.
lol overcooked ahahahahahah
Waaaaiight, did he say 'radioactive rays'??!!!
Wow a facial and shock treatment at the same time.
Them: This is "Treatment"
Also them: *it's Radioactive*
they where obsessed with all sorts of rays huh
Radioactive!? Could they die in 1 minute? Hahaha I'm not surprised for past beauty R & D 😅
it probably wasnt strong enough to kill in a minute, no where near strong enough.
It was still radiation though, in harmful doses
It's not enough to kill you straight away, but it's definitely not good for you either
Better take some fucking radaway.
over cooked? ... radio waves? ... electrified damnnn beauty must have been a B*tch back in those days.
I got to say if that face mask was still around today id probably be the first guy to try it!!!
Never learned that Radiation could change an Asian to an European.
Radioactive? Oh please! Like I'm going to stand in line for that :-)
oh good lord, wonder what the results really were
Eammon Andrews narrated a few of these for Pathe before moving on onto shows like This is Your Life
*screaming* NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! OMG NOOOOO!!!!
I cringed, hard.
Wow!
The narrator is hilarious
Ra Bia This is exactly how white people have been sending subliminal messages that "white is right". "western complexion their zimp" 😂😂😂 I'm sorry but westerners have the worst skin compared to the rest of the world.
*cough cough* clevver had something like this lol
i need this treatment asap
The beautician work so hard those days..nw days any random person opens saloon.
I found my new Halloween mask! where can I get it? lol...
Eeeek is right! Scary stuff....
"They're not going to mummified her" 😅😅😅
They might as well though with all those cancer rays they’re shooting at her lol
Great idea... where can I get it??
Barty
OMG PEOPLE WERE NUTS BACK THEN!
As a Nuclear Medicine profession...
I'd LOVE to know WTH was going on....
But this was from a time period where they had Xray machines in shoe stores & radioactivity was cool...
Never mind that 20yrs prior the dying & decroding Radium Girls filed the world's first Class Action Lawsuit....🤦♀️🤷♀️
oh my god
ULTRA FUCKING VIOLET RAYS SPRAYED ON THAT WOMAN'S FACE?! What the fuck.
holy crap...
Wow lovely
Este é o preço que se paga para manter a beleza.
Scary. This was from an era where doctors recommended what brand cigarettes were best in advertisements. Boomers.....
In the thumbnail I thought it was a chihuahua
Is this radio waves or actual ionizing radiation?
The fact that it's radioactive elements means it is ionising radiation
Radioactive elements??!!??
overcooked??!??
What. The. Heck.
Yeah, radioactive facial really makes you glow doesn't it?
What in the world? "Overcooked"???
Jesus. This looks like torture.
Well, that happened.
what the actual papaya
Well today we got micro plastics in our shampoo and future generations will be just as shocked.
Maybe,that’s why my wife crazy.
The good old days weren’t always good.
Radioactive?????
Of course, the same magic word "scientifically proven"
Hahahahahahaha. Radio active treatment.
That asian lady looks so annoyed. 😂
Jinkes!!!!!!
riiiiiiiiiiight....
Shacatelas 😬
And we wonder why so many people have cancer...
Holy fuck
Oops, didn't look well enough! Don't take notice of me..
What a creepy mask😬
Yikes
Those women glowed with beauty.
OMG, so wrong 😐
Y'all make it sound like radiations are bad. MOST radiations are not bad and u probably interact with them every single day.
U don't know what kind of radioactive elements are in those masks to stop judging
+Annie Nguyen Radiation is in a lot of things, however it depends on how ionising and how penetrating they are
The kind of stuff shown here probably could give you radiation sickness due to the fact that it's supposed to help clear your face
That wouldn't be possible with something so weak
Also ultra violet rays are very bad for your skin in high concentration and dosage
Most beauty products and more in this era contained radium, a highly radioactive material which did cause radiation poisoning and sickness
It also actually produces radioluminescence, which could possibly be a factor in the "glowing" effect most women had
Possible but not likely though haha
But yes this was very dangerous and most likely used radium

American horror story season 10
Radiowave are not good for the body at all.
lol, nothing has change...
Less cancer masks. It's a little flabbergasting to think that you might be sincere.
And that's how cancer was born
And now everyone in that film got cancer that day.
🤔🤔🤔
If I reach 80 Id be up for trying it lol Go out with a bang and looking good (joke)
omg， 🙏
Thy all r more like doctors thn beautician
aaaand he face fell off after
😨
WTF :\
It's a trap.
What in the world what happened to the Asian lady she was gorgeous!!!!!!!??????👀👀that’s racism at its best smh!
People are completely exaggerating the dangers of these treatments. Of course they aren't the safest but cancer rates were lower back then. No one has ever been diagnosed with cancer because of a radioactive facial.
+Justin Hopkins They didn't live that long for it to be a matter. And probably these treatments weren't very popular (or affordable).
I cringed, hard.
