This girl was locked in a basement for 20 years, yet looks old af. She got 0 sun exposure

[Jerryterry129]

They say the sun is the number 1 cause of aging but this lady literally hasn’t seen sun in 20 years

 

[EverythingMattersCel]

Maybe because she was malnourished and living in her own faeces.

What happened?

 

[TUSSELEIF]

Locked in a small room with no windows for 25 years, not even seeing the sun for all those years, laying in your own filth as well.

Interesting read

She was just leanmaxxing bro

 

[lasthope]

More background please
How she was treated? Did she get proper food?

 

[Deleted member 6403]

high cortisol + bad nutrition (PUFA, etc) assuming everything else was average

 

[mulattomaxxer]

I don't know how people can be so cruel. Why would somebody do this to another human. I feel sorry for her, she got denied a chance to live.

She looks old because she was manourished and almost certainly stressed and depressed. You need to get proper nutrients to mantain collagen. Just because you don't see sunlight doesn't mean you will look youthful.

I don't see how that has much to do with it honestly.

sure being malnourished might play a role in collagen production, but you'd think sunlight has a greater effect. starting to think sunlight is not a big deal as long as you aren't exposed to it for prolonged periods when UV radiation is high. putting on sunscreen everytime you go outside for an hour when there's no sun out is probably autism tbh. gonna still do it anyway tho ngl.

it's brutals story. About how mother fucked over the life of her Stacy daughter

She was renowned for her physical beauty, and attracted many potential suitors for marriage. In 1874, at the age of 25, she desired to marry an older lawyer who was not to her mother Louise's liking; she argued that her daughter could not marry a "penniless lawyer".[4] Her disapproving mother, angered by her daughter's defiance, locked her in a tiny, dark room in the attic of their home, where she kept her secluded for 25 years. Louise Monnier and her brother Marcel continued on with their daily lives, pretending to mourn Blanche's disappearance. None of her friends knew where she was, and the lawyer who she wished to marry died unexpectedly in 1885. On 23 May 1901, the "Paris Attorney General" received an anonymous letter – the author of which is still unknown – that revealed the incarceration:

Monsieur Attorney General: I have the honor to inform you of an exceptionally serious occurrence. I speak of a spinster who is locked up in Madame Monnier's house, half-starved and living on a putrid litter for the past twenty-five years – in a word, in her own filth.

Monnier was rescued by police from appalling conditions, covered in old food and feces, with bugs all around the bed and floor, weighing barely 25 kilograms (55 lb).[5][6]

One policeman described the state of Monnier and her bed thus:[4]

The unfortunate woman was lying completely naked on a rotten straw mattress. All around her was formed a sort of crust made from excrement, fragments of meat, vegetables, fish, and rotten bread... We also saw oyster shells, and bugs running across Mademoiselle Monnier's bed. The air was so unbreathable, the odor given off by the room was so rank, that it was impossible for us to stay any longer to proceed with our investigation.

Her mother was arrested, became ill shortly afterwards, and died 15 days later after seeing an angry mob gather in front of her house. Her brother Marcel Monnier appeared in court, and was initially convicted, but later was acquitted on appeal; Marcel Monnier was deemed mentally incapacitated, and although the judges criticised his choices, they found that a "duty to rescue" did not exist in the penal code at that time with sufficient rule to convict him.[5][7]

After she was released from the room, Monnier continued to suffer from mental health problems. She was diagnosed with various disorders, including anorexia nervosa,[c] schizophrenia, exhibitionism, and coprophilia. This soon led to her admission to a psychiatric hospital in Blois, France, where she eventually died in 1913 in apparent obscurity.[8][9]

We need to see more people who been locked in basements like this case to evaluate how there skin looks

Y’all are free to do some digging on google and post what you find in here, I briefly searched this.

sun damage probably only occurs if other aspects aren't right (like high omega-6 intake and low omega-3 intake), stress, etc. our ancestors used to get hours of sunlight and didn't age too badly.

well that's likely bullshit too

Yeah lmao at some of the commenters on looksmax.me

making shit up out there ass. Lol at that commment

Maybe in this case the bad condition she lived in simply overweight the benefit of no sun exposer

Rather not,

I recall that Fritzl psycho from Germany or Austrua or zomething

 

[Jerryterry129]

Also I’m not 100% sure this girl got no sun exposure at all I just briefly skimmed through the case. But it seems like people here know the case and say she got 0 sun exposure

The concern with photo-aging is PREMATURE aging. The sun is indeed still considered one of the main causes of extrinsic aging (we understand the mechanisms, it's not a hypothesis), but that doesn't mean you won't age due to intrinsic reasons that happen endogenously.


If you focus in on her face, it's actually not particularly wrinkly or saggy, it's just extremely disheveled with probably sub 10% bodyfat and hairloss due to malnutrition. Not to mention the extremely low soft tissue volume in her face. Women particularly need bodyfat for optimal sex hormone production.

"Adipose tissue can contribute up to 100% of circulating estrogen in postmenopausal women and 50% of circulating testosterone in premenopausal women."

Testosterone and estrogen are very important for collagen production:

"Estrogens have been shown to increase collagen, elastin, vascularization and skin thickness. They are also modulators of metalloproteinases, blocking the fragmentation of collagen fibers, improving healing, increasing the viability of fibroblasts and stimulating the proliferation of keratinocytes. Finally, estrogens stimulate the hair follicle in the scalp and act as antioxidants, protecting against stress and inflammation.

Testosterone, on the other hand, and despite the bad reputation it has for the skin, also has an important beneficial effect on it. On the one hand, it also increases the production of collagen, increasing the thickness of the skin and improving its texture, but on the other hand, it decreases fat deposit and the appearance of cellulite.

The protective role of estrogens, mainly, and of other hormones to a lesser extent, as well as their numerous benefits for the skin, is well known. The maximum level of estrogen in women occurs at the end of the second decade of their life, decreasing by 50% at age 50 and reducing dramatically after menopause.

This loss of estrogen contributes to an evident deterioration of skin health, while Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can restore skin health again. Several studies have revealed the clear relationship that exists between circulating estrogen levels and the age that women appear, their attractiveness, their skin health and their facial coloration."


Her thyroid, growth and sex hormone production were likely all extremely downregulated, which lowered her estrogen even more, compounding with the natural decline of sex hormone levels after 30 years old in women.


Everyone here should still wear sunscreen. These two women are identical twins. Subject B was exposed to a couple more hours of direct sunlight exposure per day.

How much sun light got the left one?

I don't remember, but they didn't mention anything about her being a basement dweller or her wearing sunscreen, just that the right one exposed herself to the sun more.

 

[damnit]

jayce duggard was also captured and probably had little sun exposure but don't know any images right after rescuing her....

 

[Debetro]

How did her face change so much
