“I stopped using it entirely and never noticed any difference...”

As a Senior Editor at BuzzFeed, I cover lifestyle topics including books, work and money, health, and home.

Just keep in mind, as you're reading, that what worked for one person might not work the same for you. 

"It’s a rip-off. I’m convinced face cream is the exact same product, but they put it in a tiny container and call it eye cream and charge a ton for it!"

"Having a caffeinated eye cream significantly reduces how sleepy I look in the morning, unfortunately."

"I stopped using it entirely and never noticed any difference except that towels and washcloths work better."

"I don't use dryer sheets, but they actually aren't 'completely useless.' If someone in your household has pet allergies, using dryer sheets can keep hair and dander from clinging to your fabrics."

"Wool dryer balls work better than dryer sheets for this in my experience."

"I got an African net sponge, which I love. It goes right in the washer."

"The African net sponge is an absolute game-changer. Everyone on my list is getting one for Christmas."

"I did this for a long time, but out of nowhere, I weirdly had the urge to try shaving cream again, and it makes my legs feel 100 times softer, so I can't go back anymore."

"I second this! I started using shaving oil a few years back, and it's top-tier."

"Instead of buying scented lotions from Bath & Body Works, I buy an unscented lotion and just add whatever essential oil I feel like wearing that day. It saves space in my bathroom because I don’t have a dozen different scented lotions, and I get to wear a scent that I created and is mine alone."

"A friend has used a LOT of talcum powder her whole life. She was diagnosed with pulmonary talcosis, a rare form of foreign-body granulomatous lung disease from heavy long-term exposure to talcum powder!"

"If you don’t already use it, add sunscreen!"

"Just coming here to say the same. I own washcloths, and they wash my face, and I can use warm water instead of freezing cold in the winter."

"I switched to using corn starch instead of dry shampoo. It buys me extra time between washes if I need an emergency fix. Add cocoa powder if you have dark hair, and it smells better!"

"If you haven’t tried a Flex Disc, you have to give it a go. It empties when you go to the bathroom, is incredibly easy to insert, and suuuuuuper easy to remove. I will never go back to menstrual cups."

"I use a face wash at night because of sunscreen and makeup, etc., but I just splash my face with some water in the mornings."

"Expensive shampoos. Now I spend $3. My hair is long and healthy."
