1. She Got Off Social Media

Lipa has been open about the struggles of being in the public eye, especially when it comes to dealing with social media haters. She was infamously trolled on social media after one of her performances, and after winning awards. Lipa said on the Gurls Talk podcast with Adwoa Aboah that she had to step away from social media, and that this benefitted both her mental health, and her career. “I don’t think I could have done my second record if I hadn’t taken a step back from social media,” she said.

2. She Loves To Journal

Lipa opened up about some of her self-care and mental health practices on the Gurls Talk podcast. She says that journaling and writing her feelings down has really improved her mental health and wellbeing. “Get a piece of paper and write down what you’re thinking, [it] doesn’t even have to make sense, but I think it really helps.”

3. She Gives Back

Lipa is a very charitable celebrity, and has used her platform to promote several different causes. Lipa told the Gurls Talk podcast that the COVID-19 pandemic inspired her to start giving back a lot more. “A lot of us are fortunate enough to be able to self-isolate with family, friends, loved ones, but there are lots of people around the world, refugees who live in overcrowded areas, who don’t have access to basic human needs such as soap and water.”

4. She Decided To Prove Her Doubters Wrong

Lipa opened up to Attitude Magazine about the intense social media trolling and backlash she received in the past, and how it affected her. She revealed, “IT was definitely something that gave me anxiety and made me upset and made me feel like I wasn’t good enough and made me feel like, maybe I’m not meant to be here and on the stage. There were so many things, especially when you start out, like a video of me dancing and they’re like, ‘Ah well, she has no stage presence’ – but they’d never been to one of my shows, they’d never seen me perform. They would take one small snippet and run with it and it would become a whole thing.” Despite these feelings, Lipa let the haters motivate her to work harder, and prove them wrong, and by the time her second album was released, she was receiving praise for her ability as a performer. “It was a tough time, but I’m also so grateful for experience because I became so much stronger. I became so much more confident after that. Now I know what I’m good at; I know how to be good at what I do; [and] I know how much work it takes to be good at what I do.”

5. She Loves Boxing

Lipa opened up about some of her favorite exercises in an interview with Beauty Crew. She revealed that one of her favorite ways to stay in shape was by boxing. “I like doing it for fitness [and] I like doing it just to kinda clear my mind. I really enjoy it. I like that it's definitely a full body workout. Since starting boxing I've probably been in the best shape ever. It's also a great stress reliever."

Close friends Dua Lipa, model Sarah Lysander, and talent manager Bashir Arab-Sanchez are in Miami, escaping the cold February weather as Dua performs there. And they seem to be having a great time, according to their Instagram stories. Lipa posted a photo of the three of them sitting by the pool. All three looked chill—and happy.

1. She Removes Her Makeup

Lipa has amazing skin. She revealed some of her tips to Vogue. She says that she always remembers to take makeup off. “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.”

2. She Gets Facials

Lipa likes to get treatments done on her face. Specifically, she likes to have facials done. “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.”

3. She Makes Time To Workout

Lipa has a pretty busy schedule. But she still prioritizes working out. She tells ELLE that she makes time for quick workouts each morning. “I exercise five days a week in the morning. When I’m touring, I use Class Pass, or it ends up being a 15-minute workout in my hotel room.”

4. She Walks Her Dog

Lipa went through her day in an interview with Refinery29. She says that one thing she does to stay in shape is go on walks with her dogs. “I got really lucky that he and I have the same sleep schedule,” she says. “If I need to catch a couple extra hours of sleep he’s right there with me, but on days when I’m up bright and early, he’s ready for his morning walk. Our walks are the perfect way to get my mind right for the day ahead. I usually grab a bottle of Evian — gotta stay hydrated — and his leash and we head out for a stroll around the neighborhood. While walking, I make a mental list of my intentions for the day.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Lipa tells Marie Claire that she likes to do a variety of different workouts to stay in shape. “When I have a tiny bit more time on my side I love mixing up lots of different training, finding different workouts in whatever city I’m in, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, boxing or spinning. Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting. When you’re on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you’re going to find. That’s always one way to keep it interesting.”

1. She Has Makeup Free Days

In late 2016, Lipa revealed some of her beauty secrets in an interview with Allure. She says that having days where she isn’t wearing makeup is important. “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 Travels With Skincare Products

Lipa does a lot of traveling, and she makes sure to take skincare products with her on the road. “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.”

3. She Wants To Be A Role Model

Being in the public eye, Lipa has a lot of people looking up to her. She tells Allure that she wants to inspire others. “If you can be a role model doing what you do....For me, my aim is to just be as good as possible. If people do look up to me, I have to set the best example I can. I guess in a way that makes me the best version of me when it’s about someone else as well. Especially for ‘Blow Your Mind’, the whole video is a campaign for niceness. It’s like the girl gang that everyone can be a part of.”

4. She Uses A Toothbrush On Her Skin

Lipa tells Allure that she has a unique beauty tip. “I use a toothbrush for loads of different things. Well, I don’t use the same toothbrush for loads of different things. I have a couple. I use a toothbrush on my lips as a lip scrub, occasionally I use a toothbrush with some dark eye shadow on my eye brows if I want to fill them in. And if I want a really thick, textured look with mascara, I put one on my lashes, as well. At home [in London], I discovered it after running out of makeup supplies and trying to make do with what I have. Now, I still use it.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Lipa shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Refinery29. She says that she does a lot of different things to stay in shape. “Whether it’s on Zoom, doing a workout with my friend Ella in L.A. who leads a kickass workout class called Sculpt With Ella, or with my best friend Bunny who comes over to train me on days when I’m feeling super lazy and need someone to get me motivated, getting physical really starts my day off right. I also love to do yoga, Pilates, or strength training. I like to leave my cardio workout to dancing.”

Singer Dua Lipa is currently touring the world on her Future Nostalgia tour. Despite her busy schedule, she’s still making time for herself.

1. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Lipa has impressive skin, and she makes sure that she has an intricate skincare routine. She broke down her biggest skincare tips to Stylista, saying, “I’m quite methodical. I wash my make-up off every night with a rosehip cleansing oil by Pai, then use a cream cleanser and apply a probiotic serum and face cream by Esse. In the mornings, I use the cream cleanser again followed by a niacinamide serum from a dermatological brand called Synergy, then moisturiser and SPF.”

2. She Moved To London On Her Own

Lipa has a strong work ethic and she says that this started when she was young. She revealed to Stylista that she moved to London on her own, when she was a teenager. Lipa says that the experience gave her the work ethic and the idea of what it takes to be a singer. “That whole experience shaped me and helped me so much with my confidence,” she says. “It made me realise I had to do everything on my own. My parents were far away and it taught me a lot about what I wanted, what I needed and how hard I had to work to get to where I wanted to be. Being alone helped me not be afraid to get out and talk to people and get into the rooms I wanted to be in.”

3. She’s True To Herself

Lipa is all about being true to herself, and being proud of the work she’s done. She says that this is one of the reasons that she’s had so much success. “I think it’s about being yourself,” she says to Stylista. “Being proud of the things you put your name to, and making sure that what you put out is coming from you and isn’t for the sake of trying to get on the radio."

4. She Started A Book Club With Her Friends

Lipa revealed to Stylista that she is an avid reader. However, her busy schedule doesn't always allow her to read, or see her friends. She says that she came up with a solution to these problems. “I recently decided to start a book club with my friends. We weren’t meeting up because we were all busy, so we decided to give ourselves an excuse to have dinner together regularly.”

5. She Does Quick Workouts In The Mornings

Lipa has a busy schedule, but she still makes time to work out. She tells Marie Claire that her secret to staying in shape is doing a quick workout in the mornings, before she starts her day. “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.”
