Amanda says: "I find the mask moisturizing and it really helps if you're getting a breakout. Leave it on for 15 or 20 minutes, until it starts dripping... and then I remove it. Don't do it outside! The bugs are attracted to it."

Mollie says: "To make my hair lighter and shinier in the summer, I put beer and lemon through it -- just squeeze it all over."

Amy Rose says: "I use olive oil as eye makeup remover. Why put a bunch of complicated formulas on my face when this works best? I usually wake up in whatever crusted-over product I had on the night before, wash and marinate my face in the aforementioned olive oil to try and atone for never taking off my makeup before I go to bed."
Give your hair a pinch of salt for a no-poo regimen.

Sherry says: "I make my own no poo -- just apple cider vinegar and salt. I do it twice a week. You just put the mixture in for a few minutes and then rinse it out. And it moisturizers as well."
