Dua Lipa released her third album, Illusion, last month. She is also about to start her tour for the album. Lipa shared her preparation for the tour on her Instagram. In them, she danced and posed in workout gear. Lipa captioned the post, “4 DAYS UNTIL TOUR!!!!!" How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Dua Lipa stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Doesn't Wear Too Much Makeup
Lipa has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her secrets with Allure. Lipa says that she tries to not wear makeup when she’s not working. “Off stage, I try not to not wear makeup as much as I can. I need to give my skin a break. I guess it was always important for me to take my makeup off before bed, but now, it’s like to a whole ‘nother level.”
2. She Takes Her Makeup Off
Lipa talked about the importance of taking her makeup off with Vogue. “I have to take my make-up off. It’s a very rare occasion where I just fall asleep with it on. When I was younger I never used to care. I was the kind of person that would just wash my face with soap and call it a day. But when I turned 18, I started really taking care of my skin and being really gentle. Now I use a lot of serums: I have one that I put on before I go to bed, and a different one for the morning that I use after a skin cleanser to take off any make-up. I’ll also use an oil, sometimes a homemade one, because my skin gets really dry the next morning if I don’t.”
3. She Keeps Her Skin Healthy On The Road

Lipa does a lot of traveling, which can harm her skin. She shared how she keeps her skin healthy with Allure. “I’m traveling so much, and my skin gets so tired, so anything I can take like eye cream, face cream, face mist, oils—just anything to keep my skin moisturized because flying dries it out. Traveling is the worst for skin, and it shows instantly. Once you’re working non-stop, you can instantly see it.”
4. She Gets Facials

Lipa tells Vogue that she loves getting facials done, and will even do them herself. “I’ve found some good facialists in different places, that people have recommended. I don’t have that much time to go so it’ll be whenever I get the chance, usually once every couple of months. In London, there’s a place called Pfeffer Sal which I love. There they’re lovely and it’s just been great. I also know to drink electrolytes to make sure you’re hydrated. When I’m traveling, I’ll always take a few face-masks on flights. That’s a good tip I’ve learnt – a game changer.”
5. She’s Consistent With Workouts
Lipa tells Viva Magazine that she makes sure to stay consistent with fitness. “I try and work out as much as I can. It's such a busy lifestyle I feel like I need to try and do something for myself every day. I love doing something that's really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session which I can do before I start my day. If I've got a really early call time I don't want to be waking up hours before I need to, to go and do a workout. So a high-intensity workout, shower, breakfast, and I'm on my way.”
