Tanya Joy emulates her name through her profession as a certified esthetician. Owner and operator of Point Loma’s Tanya Joy Skincare, the “dedicated” professional believes that “true beauty comes from within and radiates through the skin's first impression.”

Celebrating almost 20 years in business, Joy is expanding her successful brick and mortar to include new product lines – Rhonda Allison Skincare and Viktoria DeAnn Peptides –

sound healing and detox services in addition to a full menu of spa services.

Treatments, described as “experiences,” cover issues with acne, sensitive skin, rosacea, skin rejuvenation, and anti-aging skincare.

Through analysis, corrective and preventative treatments, education and a wide array of at-home skincare products, Joy “empowers clients to embrace their uniqueness.” While relishing in spa services she encourages men and women to “enjoy the moments of peace and tranquility in my care.”

“It is my passion and honor to serve all who find their way to my studio,” she said. “My mission statement revolves around my desire to reach out to men and women seeking to achieve more confidence in their appearance and well-being.”

The experienced professional has always been interested in health and beauty. Suffering from teenage and adult-onset acne, Joy learned from “mentors” how to combat acne without the use of oral medication.

“I learned early on how to treat skincare without using dangerous drugs,” she said.

Joy also noted the importance of balancing the benefits of sun exposure – “increased vitamin D and serotonin levels, plus happy endorphins and a blissful attitude” – with sunscreen protection.

“This may seem counter-intuitive for a skin specialist, but I believe in balancing the benefits of enjoying the outdoors with the importance of sunscreen,” she continued. “I’ve worn daily sunscreen protection since I was a kid. I love the beach. I work in Hawaii for several weeks a year. Sunscreen protection is an efficient and effective skincare anti-aging agent.”

Joy added that she knows how to deal with sunspots and hyper-pigmented skin from sun exposure.

“And when something is out of my realm of treatment, I’m happy to refer clients to the sources who will offer the correct treatment,” she said.

Tanya Joy’s myriad of serves includes microdermabrasion; hydrodermabrasion; a potpourri of facials - Hibiscus Flower, Ocean Collagen, Hawaiian Delight, kiwi, banana, cherry lime and oxygen - firming and toning apple wine and lotus skin peels; waxing; LED facials; GuaSha, facial waxing; and treatments of pumpkin, green tea, organic seaweed collagen, and ginger.

“For cleansing and detox services I also offer a detox foot spa, castor oil packs with crystal heating pads, and sound therapy with tuning forks,” she said.

Joy remains adamant about embodying the spirit of aloha.

“I embody the aloha spirit filled with love, kindness, compassion, hospitality, grace, and touching the souls of others,” she concluded.
