A Gilmore Girls Winter Guide to Bare Necessities
If Stars Hollow had a town meeting dedicated to skincare (and honestly, it would), Bare Necessities would definitely be on the agenda right after Taylor announces a winter snowflake festival no one asked for.
So grab a mug of hot cocoa, wrap yourself in your comfiest sweater! With fairy lights glowing, scarves out of storage, and Stars Hollow buzzing with winter charm, it’s impossible not to imagine which Bare Necessities skincare fits right into the Gilmore girl’s world.
If Lorelai Gilmore had a Winter Armour it would be the Rainforest Moisturiser!
No one thrives in winter like Lorelai, the woman prays for snow like it’s a religion! Which means she also needs a moisturizer that can survive a Stars Hollow blizzard, an emergency town reenactment, and a last-minute drive to Luke’s for coffee.
Lorelai would slather this on, throw on her funky scarf, and say “time to butter up before the cold tries anything dramatic!”
Rory’s Study Buddy The Soak it up Moisturiser
Picture Rory during her hectic finals' week: oversized sweater, organised hair, colour-coded notes everywhere, and a moisturiser that keeps up without ever feeling heavy.
Hydration mixed with all that late-night studying? That’s Rory’s secret valedictorian glow.
Sookie St. James’ Whimsical Winter Treat ‘Hemp’ily Ever After Lip Balm
Sookie, the queen of cozy chaos and secret-ingredient magic, would fall madly in love with the Hemp’ily Ever After Lip Balm. It’s buttery. It’s nourishing. With mango butter, hemp seed oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E, it’s the kind of formula that would make Sookie clap her hands, squeal, and immediately start plotting a lip-balm-inspired dessert.
And yes, she’d 100% try to recreate it in the Dragonfly kitchen, probably with Lorelai yelling, ‘Sookie, that’s not edible!
Lane Kim’s “I Have Band Practice in 3 Minutes” Busy Bee Lip Balm
A mashup of band practice, her secret rock ’n’ roll agenda, Mama Kim’s unbreakable rules, and winters that absolutely do not care how busy she is. The Busy Bee Lip Balm becomes her perfect sidekick: coconut, shea butter, and almond oil deliver all-day nourishment!
Luke Danes’ Little Chocolate Compromise Mason & Co x Bare Cacao Lip Balm
He’ll deny it. He’ll grumble about it. He’ll say something like, “Why would I put chocolate on my lips? It’s ridiculous.” But Luke would absolutely use the Cacao Butter Lip Balm, secretly, and faithfully every winter! This is the lip balm he’d keep under the counter at the diner, pretending customers left it there.
Fall and winter in Stars Hollow are practically characters themselves, cozy, dramatic, and unpredictable. And honestly, Bare Necessities fits right in. Warm textures, nourishing formulas, and earth-friendly goodness that even Lorelai’s snow-dances couldn’t say no to.
Consider this your cue to step into the season with skin as happy as a Stars Hollow winter!
