Yesterday I received a press sample with products from Ritual's new Tao series. It is a collection that focuses on balance between Yin and Yang, and gives peace to you who have a hectic lifestyle!
Yesterday I tested the massage oil Xiu Xi at Miska, and since I am not planning more massages in the near future (haha) I thought I would give my review already :)
“The new Tao collection with soothing White Lotus, cooling Chinese mint and soothing Yi Yi Ren has been designed to create balance in your hectic life. The soothing massage and body oil Xiu Xi is enriched with White Lotus and the moisture from Yi Yi Ren.”
Characteristics
Jag är inte så mycket för “vanlig” massageolja annars, det känns som massa syntetskit som bara är till för att skapa glid liksom. Då använder jag hellre body butter eller nått om jag inte har en annan olja hemma.
But this is a very moisturizing and nourishing massage oil that mostly consists of oil from grapes and almonds, great for dry and chapped skin!
Packaging
The oil comes in a nice green pump bottle and I think it's great, hate oils where it's just a cork with a big hole so you almost always happen to take too much. Why are there so many oils with such bottles? Absolutely unreasonable. But this one is great! Contains 100 ml.
Fragrance
Åh jag älskar doften, jag blir lugn av bara den och skulle typ behöva en sån här doftolja hemma känner jag :) Kan inte alls beskriva den med ord, den doftar lite “Rituals” om man kan säga så haha. Doftrik utan att bli stark, harmoniskt!
Use
The oil is great as a massage oil, it glides well without being sticky or troublesome! Two thumbs up :)
It says that it is mainly a massage oil but also works as body oil, and I understand why because it is very nice on the skin and you feel super soft afterwards (I have lubricated the whole body to test). I think it goes into the skin perfectly quickly to be a massage oil, you do not want it to go into the skin too quickly then, while you do not want to be slippery like an eel after either. But as a body oil, I want one that goes into the skin super fast, and it does not.
Summary
A wonderfully delicious, fragrant, emollient and wonderful massage oil that feels luxurious and soothing, perfect both for yourself and as a gift for someone you like! However, not quite as optimal as body oil, but it works.
Miska who got the massage also said that he likes it, the oil then, or yes, the massage with :)
The oil costs SEK 159 and is available for purchase HERE!
Hope you have a wonderful evening ♥
