| Ritual of Dao |
I was recently and very happily selected by Tryazon to try a selection of bath and shower products from Rituals: The Rituals for The Holidays "Ritual of Dao" line, and it has been a delightful experience! Earlier this fall I got to try several of the Ritual of Sakura (Japanese Cherry Blossom) scented products, and I loved them, as the scent is divine, and using them brings back wonderful memories of seeing the cherry blossoms in Japan, so I was Very happy to get to try several of the Dao products, which are scented with the light and subtle fragrance of White Lotus, and contain Yi Yi Ren, an herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for skin nourishing and healing, among other things. Rituals products are truly unique, and every Rituals Collection is based on a different philosophy; the Ritual of Dao collection is based on the Chinese philosophy of creating a balance between Yin and Yang, and a "harmonic flow" that relaxes, calms, and reduces stress. I have used Traditional Chinese Medicine for many years for my health, and found it to be truly excellent and reliable- it has 3,500 years of history behind it!- and Dan and I spent an amazing month traveling through China last year, and so this concept intrigued me, and as I could Really use some tranquility in my life right now, the idea of slowing down with a warm, scented bath was VERY appealing! I find fragrance very powerful, and I love to use perfumes, bath oils, home fragrance, candles, and other scented products to remind me of happy experiences! I have to say that the Ritual of Dao bath products do let me enjoy some wonderful and romantic memories of our time in China!

The Dao Gift Box that arrived was lovely, elegant, and "upscale", and it would obviously make a delightful holiday present for just about anyone!
The four Dao products included in my box that I tried were the Shower Oil, Foaming Shower Gel, Moisturizing Shampoo, and Body Cream, and together they really do make for a lovely, relaxing "spa" bath experience!
The Dao fragrance is very light and delicate, and is thus a great gift-giving option; I think that anyone who was gifted with these products would be extremely pleased- I know I was!
The Ritual of Dao Be Kind To Your Skin Body Cream has the lovely, light, and calming White Lotus fragrance, and I love the richness of the cream. The Rituals Body Creams don't irritate my skin or make me itch like many other creams do, and as I like
to “layer” scented products, so the fragrance lasts as long as possible, I use
this as a hand cream throughout the day (I keep it in my office), as well as using it as a
body cream after bathing.
Since I like to layer scented products, I really enjoyed using the Ritual of Dao Moisturizing Shampoo. The scent is gentle and subtle, and I was Very happy that it's safe for color-treated hair, and free of parabens, sulfates, and silicone. It's enriched with Argan Oil, as well, and makes a creamy lather. As I didn't get the conditioner (yet!), I use a leave-in conditioner after I shampoo, as my hair needs the added moisture...
I LOVE the Ritual of Dao Shower Oil! I had never tried a Ritual Shower Oil before, and I
really love this. I have always enjoyed using scented bath oils, and this is
a great product to create a true “spa” bath or shower experience! The
oil is creamy and moisturizing and leaves my skin silky (not greasy),
and the Dao fragrance is delicate and relaxing. I like to “layer” all the Dao products, so I use this and the Shampoo, and then the Body
Lotion after bathing.
The Ritual of Dao Foaming Shower Gel is my
favorite Rituals product! Rituals' foaming cream shower gels have
become my favorite bath and shower gels, as they are so luscious and
creamy and moisturizing! They are really the best shower/bath gels
I've ever used. The Dao White Lotus fragrance is light and calming, and this cream gel is the "star" of my Dao Bath Ritual!
