Kelly Bishop, the iconic Emily Gilmore from “Gilmore Girls,” is celebrating the show’s 25th anniversary in a fun and surprisingly relatable way; through skincare. Teaming up with Bliss, she’s part of a limited-edition “Gilmore Girls x Bliss” collection, bringing a touch of Stars Hollow to your self-care routine. And yep, you read that right… Kelly Bishop, at 81, is front and center, proving age is just a number when it comes to radiant skin.
A Surprisingly Perfect Match
When asked about partnering with Bliss, Bishop didn’t hold back about her initial reaction. “They approached me and explained that they had this Gilmore Girls x Bliss, and did I want to do it?” she told People in an exclusive interview. “And I’m thinking, ‘Why would they ask me? Why wouldn’t they ask the younger people?’”
She might have questioned why she was tapped first, but it seems like her charm and authenticity were exactly what the brand was after. This line is as much a nod to fans of the show as it is a reflection of Bishop’s own approach to skin and self-care.
Inside Kelly’s Skincare Routine
Bishop’s routine is equal parts simple and meticulous, with a heavy emphasis on hydration. “I’ve always thought it’s so funny: The shower doesn’t take that long — it’s all the stuff you do after,” Bishop explained to People. “The powder, the deodorant, and, of course, the moisturizer. I put serum and moisturizer on my face, and while that’s sinking in, I do the rest of my body from the feet up. Then I do another layer of moisturizer on my face.”
And the reason she doubles down on the moisturizer? “It feels uncomfortable [without hydration], and even if it weren’t uncomfortable, I’d think I was uncomfortable.” Honestly, that sounds like advice we could all take to heart.
The ‘Gilmore Girls x Bliss’ Line
The collection features star products that any fan or skincare enthusiast will want to snag including a Pumpkin Powerhouse Resurfacing & Exfoliating Mask that comes with a Spa Headband, a Bright Idea Brightening Serum and Moisturizer Duo, a Lemon & Sage Body Butter, and a Pumpkin Powerhouse Soothing & Exfoliating Lip Mask.
From exfoliating masks to body butter, every item is designed to make you feel pampered while channeling that Stars Hollow magic. The packaging also nods to iconic “Gilmore Girls” locations, adding a nostalgic bonus for longtime fans.
