Sun Bath Helmet Prevents Sunburn (Sep, 1931)
Sun Bath Helmet Prevents Sunburn
THE latest contribution to the science of improving feminine beauty is a helmet having a glass shield which is treated to remove infra-red rays from sunlight, allowing wearer to retain white skin on the face.
Because infra-red associates with “warmth”, and so does sunburn. But will it have greenhouse-effect?

I was going to say that: suntans and sunburn are caused by UV rays, not infrared.
I’m not sure if I want to look like Floyd R. Turbo on the beach either.

So with that tanned body and white face she walks around looking like a mime?

It would stop UV rays too. You don’t get a sunburn behind glass.
She looks like an Xmen character. Perhaps her power is UV related and she wears the helmet so she doesn’t accidentally kill everyone?
