Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Esmeralda's heavy smoking and frequent exposure to the sun are both factors that contribute to premature skin aging, leading to more wrinkles compared to others her age. Smoking reduces the blood flow to the skin, depriving it of necessary nutrients, while UV exposure from the sun breaks down collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating wrinkle formation.
