It was cracked, sore, painful – I had Angular cheilitis or stomatitis angularis or perleche or however you want to call it.

Setting goals for well aging – Here is who inspires me! | Doctor Anne

After releasing my blog post on the pillars of well-aging, talking about all the other things rather than skin care that I want to explore in order to age healthy, I was hit hard in the face by the reality of returning to my day job during what feels like the 300th wave of the pandemic. (More info: How living through 2020 has changed me) And I knew myself well enough to realize that if I didn’t take drastic measures to keep me on track, I would end up hunched…
