What beauty advice/tip do you preach but aren’t so good about practicing? Share!

.

Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. I’m terrible at it. I keep trying, and I use all the tricks I know, but I fail!

Exercise .. Exercise :p Do 50 situps a day .. However, i manage to drink 2 litres of water everyday :) And yes, thats something im quite proud of :p

I guess mine would be sleep- even though I know its one of the best things you can do for yourself I can't find 8 hours to sleep on weekdays and I'm lucky to squeeze in 6. Being a full-time student and having a part-time job sucks the life out of you. As a side note- I don't understand you guys that don't take off your makeup at night. Do you have miraculous skin that doesn't break out if you do that? Sometimes I forget to wipe that last bit of foundation under my chin and I find two zits have popped up the next day. o_o;

Washing my makeup off at night. I guess there are lots of us out there that do this!

Taking off my makeup all the time. And brush cleaning. I'm always yelling at my mom for keeping her brushes dirty, but I only wash mine once every two weeks, maybe.

I don't think there are any official beauty tips that I AM good at following. I can spout them off like they're my own name, but remembering/finding time to do them is another story.

drinking enough water. I can drink a big bottle of water some days and then other days I barely drink more than 3 glasses. Quitting coffee, I know it's not good. And I guess I don't exfoliate enough my body.

Not washing my brushes as often as i should i do however wipe them clean with a make up remover towelette everytime after i use them.

Don't pick your pimples. Ugghh I'm terrible at it. I must stop touching my face.

Exfoliate and moisturize your body. I can't be bothered, I am always too tired to do it on a regular basis.

Sleeping with make up. I really know I should make an effort, but at 1-2 am, I'm somtimes too sleepy to do it.

Sleeping 7.5 or more hours a day helps with weight loss. I hardly ever sleep that much because I'm up until late every night. Maybe that's why I'm fat... nothing to do with all the sweets/chocolate/icecream I eat. ;)

sleeping in my makeup!

Don't pick your zits - if only I could practice what I preach!

Using a face mask at least twice a week. Sometimes If I'm lucky I'll use it every other week, making me regret it.

Washing brushes is probably my biggest. And sunscreen. I wear a primer with sunscreen for my face but my arms need some too so they don't get too freckley.

Exercise!!! lol I'm far too lazy... :)

Same here 8 glasses of water and to walk/run 30-60 minutes a day... I just can't find the time for neither.

On weekends when I come home late I often sleep in my makeup. But tell me friends thats the worst thing they can do...oops

I dont get to drink 8 glasses of water either, I always end up drinking about 3 big glasses. I do drink a lot of herbal/green tea though. Other advice I fail to do myself is proper brush cleaning. I always tell people to clean their brushes on a regular basis, but I always forget and end up cleaning them ones every 3 months.

Im not a preacher in general, thats just something not in my personality or maybe I dont have enough self confidence to tell people what they should do or not. So I cant say I preach any beauty tip Im not good at practicing. :P

taking your makeup off at night of course. i know im guilty of it.

Washing my face before I go to bed. I usually take a shower at night, so its not a problem, but on weekends I shower in the morning, so I just sleep in my makeup overnight.

False lashes works better than mascaras.
