There have been designs for counter pressure spacesuits that keep the body under pressure from the tension built into the material of the suit. The head would be surrounded by a breathable atmosphere but the rest if the body would be in vacuum. Tests show they’d be quite effective.

I wonder if there are some benefits to an oxygen free environment in terms of our skin and hair? Are there oxidation processes going on that deteriorate them?

This is part of what made me curious about it! Maybe there is a long-term benefit or cause of detriment to only the lungs having access to oxygen?
