The high-tech accessory covers her entire face with a white cloak before she steps outside to activate it during the nighttime adventure.

Julie’s entire face lights up with an ominous red glow, giving her a whole new, sinister form.

The text she put over it read: ‘If you go for a walk in the dark and you get a little nervous, buy a red light mask.

‘No one will bother you and you will get better skin.’
