My name is Sarah Michaelson and I’m a mom, wife, and owner of ROE Caviar, a stylish and sustainable caviar company harvested in Northern California. Our goal has always been to make caviar fun, easy, and accessible to all, whether for a great occasion or no occasion at all. With the holidays quickly approaching, I’m going to share some of my go-to brands that I love to gift the people in my life.
My favorite jewelry company that also does great things for the betterment of the world. 100% of the proceeds from their “Change” necklace goes directly to Color of Change, a nonprofit Civil Rights advocacy group.
Not only is this company run by two amazing women, but their products are just as good. Their DIY Cheese and Cured Meat Board is a favorite to send to my girlfriends with some ROE Caviar for a Zoom party.
A company that is easy to get behind. Not only do they carry my favorite home linens, but they also launched an initiative in March that has donated over 85,000 masks to those in need.
My favorite place to go in LA for all of my wine needs. She also has a Caviar Dreams gift box, equipped with ROE Caviar, Crème Fraiche, Lays Potato Chips, and Champagne.

Here’s a fun (read: frightening) activity. Sit back and add up the amount of time you spend working on your computer on any given day. Take that number and add the amount of time you spend on your phone. Add any remaining screen time, including but not limited to Netflix binges, online shopping, and time spent scrolling through news sites. The number you end up represents how long your skin is being exposed to potentially damaging light emitted from digital devices. This high energy visible light (HEV light), otherwise referred to as blue light, could be affecting the health of your skin in more ways than one.
Research tells us that blue light can cause skin damage. More specifically, it can cause hyperpigmentation and premature signs of aging. It causes the former by inducing inconsistent melanin production in the skin. It causes the latter by exposing your cells to oxidative stress, or free radicals, which damage the collagen in your skin, leading to such signs of aging as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
That’s the bad news, but there’s good news, too. There are steps you can take to minimize the effect of blue light. From keeping an eye on your screen time to using antioxidant-rich skincare products, keep reading to learn more about how to care for your skin in the digital age.
Reduce Screen Time (If You Can)
The first and most obvious step in protecting your skin from an exorbitant amount of blue light exposure is to minimize your screen time. Even though that’s not always feasible when it comes to professional life (especially if, due to recent events, your laptop has become your office), there are ways to stay conscious of the time you’re spending on screens for other reasons. For example, limit time spent scrolling through social media to a few minutes each day. Track your screen time on your phone. Schedule screen-free time in your calendar, so you feel the freedom to walk away from your computer for a specific amount of time. At the very least, switch your phone display to night shift, which minimizes the amount of blue light it emanates.
Make Sure You’re Getting Enough Sleep
Because there’s evidence that blue light disrupts our natural circadian rhythm (aka our sleep-wake cycle), it’s important to prioritize sleep, especially if you’re spending most of your day staring at a screen. After all, research links sleep deprivation with acceleration in physical signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Sleep deprivation could also harm our skin’s natural reparative processes, meaning damage and inflammation could ensue from not getting enough shut-eye.
Load Up on Antioxidant Protection
We’ve already discussed how blue light exposes your skin to oxidative stress, or free radicals, which can damage collagen and lead to physical signs of aging. Antioxidants prevent free radicals from damaging the skin, which is the reason antioxidant-rich ingredients are so prevalent in blue light skincare products.
The efficacy of antioxidant-rich skincare is exactly why Dr. Goldfaden formulated the Mist Rx Daily Nutrient Face Mist with aloe vera, kale sprout water, Kakadu plum, and plant & fruit stem cells—all of which have antioxidant properties to fight free radical damage, thus mitigating the harmful effects of blue light on our skin.
While these blue-light-blocking tactics are all worth practicing, it’s important to note that our main source of blue light exposure is from the sun (and no, sunscreen won’t necessarily protect your skin. Remember that sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB rays, not HEV…). This is something to keep in mind, lest we panic and blame our ceaseless Zoom meetings for damaging our skin beyond repair. It’s likely that our skin is happy and healthy if we remain conscious of our health and lifestyle habits, focus on getting good, quality sleep, nourish our skin with the right protective skincare products, and schedule regular check-ins with a dermatologist.

The skin is our largest organ, measuring roughly 22 square feet. Sure, many of us treat our facial skin daily… but that amounts to about a mere 5 percent of our total skin. Plus, facial skin is much thinner and so much more delicate than the skin on the body. On the other hand, body skin—which is bombarded with an onslaught of daily environmental aggressors—requires and deserves a different set of products to prevent signs of premature aging and promote overall skin health.
Face Your Body with Goldfaden MD
Goldfaden MD’s high-performance, three-piece Bodycare Collection is all about skin fitness. Keeping your skin healthy, fresh, and fit is paramount to our brand philosophy—and that includes the skin on your body.
This supercharged trio was developed to exfoliate, polish, refine, treat, and nourish to keep skin looking and feeling vibrant while helping to prevent signs of premature aging.
“Body care has become an afterthought, as many of us rush through it with endless options of no-name products or completely neglect it altogether. Otherwise, we wait it out and rely on time-consuming in-office procedures,” says Lisa Goldfaden, co-founder of Goldfaden MD. “My father, Dr. Gary Goldfaden, has been treating patients, full-body, for decades. As we continue to be at the forefront of product innovation, we felt it was crucial to create an easy-to-use body collection.”
Harnessing the brand’s proprietary “body complex,” these high-performance products were designed to target key concerns, such as:
sagging skin
uneven texture and tone
cellulite
sun damage
dehydration and dryness
dull, lifeless skin
scaly skin
loss of elasticity
loss of moisture
When used together, these products will help to firm, smooth, hydrate, moisturize, and revitalize skin from the neck down. After all, Goldfaden MD is a *firm believer* that skincare means caring for all your skin—not just the skin on your face.
