Eva and Judy Joo on beauty rituals and the chef’s considered approach

The seventh instalment of 111SKIN’s series 111SIDERS brings together two accomplished women: Eva Pytlovany, co founder of the skincare house, and Judy Joo, the internationally acclaimed chef, restaurateur and author whose new cookbook Mukja: Let’s Eat launches this week. In their conversation, filmed for the brand’s YouTube channel, the two discuss the intersection of rigorous professional lives and the deliberate cultivation of beauty and wellbeing.

Judy speaks candidly about the challenge of maintaining a considered skincare routine whilst managing the demands of a demanding restaurant career, and how she approaches beauty from both within and without. Her perspective reflects a philosophy common among those who understand that skincare is less a luxury indulgence than a necessary ritual, a small island of order and intention in an otherwise consuming schedule. Eva and Judy explore the personal rituals that make space for self care, the intuition that guides skincare choices, and the ingredients and practices that have become non negotiable in their respective lives.

The episode arrives as Judy releases Mukja: Let’s Eat, a cookbook that extends her exploration of nourishment and hospitality to the page. It is a fitting moment for a conversation about beauty that begins from the inside, about how we fuel ourselves and what that translates to in the texture and luminosity of skin.

The full interview is available on 111SKIN’s YouTube channel.
