Choosejoy is different than just about any other skin care practice I've been to in Monmouth County. Spas are usually focused on facial massage and add-ons that are marketable but not necessarily always effective for the person (for example, aromatherapy). The Choosejoy experience is a little more clinical, in a good way.
Joy uses her passion for skin care and her nursing background to really take a holistic approach to skin care. She is focused on providing the best possible treatments for my specific needs, while considering things like lifestyle and history of health. She's not just good at giving a facial, but also really knowledgeable about products and ingredients and how internal health affects external skin care. She also develops a full plan for treatment with you based on your goals and level of commitment.
I have bouts of rosacea, melasma, and occasional breakouts. Her facials always leave my skin feeling fresh and glowing. My favorite is the oxygen facial!
When I use the home care products recommended to me afterwards, I notice definite improvements in the quality and tone of my skin, even lightening of the dark brown spots on my cheekbones. In particular, I love the Choosejoy! Skin chamomile cleansing lotion and the luminous peptide serum. They're no more expensive than going to the counter at the department store, but they're really effective. Joy also encouraged me to stay away from highly acidic foods which may trigger my rosacea, and when I listen (sometimes you can't help but cheat), I definitely notice a difference.
Basically, I rate this place 5/5 stars. I don't get to go often anymore because I've transplanted to the west coast, but any time I'm back, I try to stop in. I've been to other spas and I feel like I'm in the best hands with Joy. The results are worth every penny. read more
