Studies show again and again that an established self-care routine in menopause women could improve their quality of life. And being more specific, self-empowerment and self-efficacy are the two factors that are elevated during any planned self-care.1
By now you may already know that self-care constitutes many things during your transition to menopause. It is your ample sleep, wholesome food with boosted protein intake and daily hydration, watching your gut health, a decent dose of exercise. In addition, the moment of calm and self-reflection, meditation and yoga add to the emotional core of any woman going through peri- and menopause alike.
What you can create in your own home environment is a mini spa where your personal transformation takes place. You can rest and boost your self-esteem by using a welcome aroma therapy products, create your step-by-step skin care routine, and remind yourself about your beautiful self.
Here are a few self-care products that shall make your personal care more luxurious and beautifying.

Best Aromatherapy Personal Care Products for Menopause
What research suggests is that aromatherapy presents a powerful tool in easing unrest, anxiety, and depression. Good smelling products help us to relax, change the mood for the better or calmer, thus feel better. And with hormonal disbalance during menopause mood changes are not exception. The menopausal symptoms become manageable with the help of menopause.2
That is why self-care cannot make a full circle without essential oils and natural aromas.
Some of the essential oils you could use to support hormonal balance are lavender, clary sage, rose, bergamot, geranium.
Besides, I love the companies that create the personal care products that allow a menopause woman to make her life happier in the moment. Spongelle does it again and again.
Spongelle and Your Hormones
Some of the ways to balance your hormones is to learn how to reduce your daily stress. And Spongelle offers us, menopause women, to surround our daily life with the best aromas ever.

Learn more about perimenopause and menopause. The sooner you are taking action, the more empowered you become. And even prevent some unnecessary conflicts that hormonal changes may and can induce upon us.
I like nice fresh scents in personal care products.

This is the key – enjoying when you are using your personal care products and tools.
I love the smell of personal care products
I am all about simplicity. The less steps the better! Right now I wash my face, put sunscreen on and moisturize. That’s about it! Simple.
Ana,
Simplicity is wonderful. When you know your skin and what it needs, simplicity becomes your second nature.
Sounds good to me
im very much a scent person, my personal care items have to have a good smell or i just cant use it
Bridgette,
Spongelle has a wide variety of aromas in their body buffers/sponges.
I love a great majority of them.
Truly, Spongelle is a beautiful gift any gal would love in her self-care regimen.
That mitt looks very useful along with my bakuchiol and retinol!
Heather,
You’ve been reading my posts! Thank you, GRL!
Yes, I’ve tested the mitts, and they are fantastic. NON-Scratchy and effective.
Self care is very important to me. I enjoy soft skin and fragrance which soothes.
Karen,
I am not a fan of strong smells and aromas. Gentle is what works for me. So, I am very particular which aromas I choose for myself and my personal skin care routine.
Self care is the best we can do for ourselves. The Spongelle looks good will check it out.
Spongelle is one of my favorites. Showers are one of my favorite times. Amazing aromatherapy during cleansing routine.
I love discovering new self care products, these sound interesting and I love new fragrances.
Jenny,
I love my products that I’ve known for a while. Yet I keep my eye on new tech and new ingredients and see what the companies that use non-toxic ingredients would do with all of that.
i like the price and how my skin looks after i use the product.
Megan,
Both are real points to take into consideration. And you found your middle ground!

I’ve been a fan of Spongelle for many years. Every time I use their body buffers in the shower, I step out a renewed me.
The aromas are so effective, they lift me and make my day.
I am not there yet but my best friend is! I will flip her this post, thank you so so much…
Karen,
Self-care knows no boundaries. Enjoy the moments of bliss when you take care of your precious self!
I love the different variety of scents and that the products are cleansing and moisturizing as well as being gently on sensitive skin.
Maria,
You got it right that Spongelle cares about the sensitivities of the skin. Their aroma template is so versatile. You can pick and choose which one lies close to your liking.
I love their brand, the sponges are just the right texture for my skin! I enjoyed reading this, thanks for the extra information.
Luna,
Yes, Spongelle’s texture is awesome and does not traumatize the skin. The aroma is truly transformative!
Self care should always be a priority regardless of age and most especially during menopause. I love that Spangle body wash infused buffer, I need to check that out.
Nadalie,
Yes, self-care should be a priority at any age. However it is not for many, many women. We put our family, kids, loved ones ahed of our personal well-being, often to the detriment of the situation.
And such situation becomes a ticking bomb that can explode any time. Menopause is a perfect storm for such an occurrence.
That is why self-care should be cultivated and preached from early age, shown by personal example within the family. It would be incorporated into our cultural psyche with such approach.
Self care is important all the time, but I can’t imagine how important it is during the menopause. Making sure you’re looking after yourself to feel as good as you can x
Rhian,
You’re definitely on the right side of the issue: self-care is important at any age and stage of our lives. But during menopause, self-care adds an extra layer of the protective emotional health and well-being to a woman. It makes her stronger and, may I say, adequate to see her beauty while she’s making it all happen.
I always love how me skin looks and feels after I use my products.
Laura,
This is an ultimate satisfaction for sure. Happy you are enjoying your daily self-care routine!
Such an empowering post about self-care during menopause! ? It’s inspiring to see how self-empowerment and self-efficacy are pivotal during this transition. Your comprehensive approach to self-care covers everything from physical health to emotional well-being. Turning your home into a mini spa is such a wonderful idea for nurturing both body and mind.
Sue-Tanya,
A mini spa attitude is a must-have for enjoying every bit of the day we live. And menopause could definitely benefit from a supportive emotional boost!
I love that they keep me feeling clean!
That’s a great start, B.J.! Enjoy and celebrate your self-care routine!
I have not heard of Songelle before, but going through the menopause I do know how it affects our bodies
Samantha,
Spongelle is a brand offering products for your luxurious feeling at home. Self-care using extra tools like aromatherapy is the center of the brands philosophy.
I adore their body buffers, as they make me feel truly transformed after each and every shower.
Using aromas of different plants and flowers, Spongelle elevates our every-day shower experience into a spa-like treatment.
I definitely recommend to try their products, beginning with shower buffers and sponges.
The Spongelle sounds really lovely and I do love the sound of the scents. Self care is more important than ever at this stage of life.
Siding with you my awesome.
Self-care helps us to go through rough moments of the day for sure.
