Judy Joo is hard to miss on a plane. “I’m a sheet mask wh-re,” jokes the author of the cookbook Korean Food Made Simple. “I’ll do my whole beauty routine. I don’t care.” Her current faves? “I’m really into Korean beauty,” like Dr. Jart, Sulwhasoo and Tonymoly, she says. “I do them four times a week.”
The chef, 45, tells Us Weekly more about how she flies high.
Silky Smooth
“I’ll spread Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream everywhere, especially [when I’m] on a plane. I put it on my hands, face, lips, elbows — everything. You have to stay moisturized.”
Tech? Check!
“I have my MacBook Pro all the time. My colleagues joke that I’m incomplete without it.”
Spice Girl
“Plane food is so bad. I always have mini Tabasco bottles. I’ll go through five of them [on a flight].”
Write On!
“When I was eating at Per Se [in NYC], they gave me a nice pen to sign the bill with. It writes really well. I like it so much, I get the refills.”
Rolling Stone
“Once I got scammed in Times Square by one of those fake monks. I paid $40 for this piece of jade that’s probably plastic. I have that in my wallet.”
Clean Slate
“I’m that crazy person who disinfects everything around me when I’m traveling. I have wipes. I don’t get sick on planes anymore.”
