Dua Lipa has been touring her album Radical Optimism for a year, plus she announced her engagement to Callum Turner this summer, and she’s running her Service 95 Book Club, most recently interviewing The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood. Yet somehow, in the midst of all of this great work, Dua Lipa’s managed to start a namesake skin care line called DUA.
Lipa has shown her passion for health and wellness, often speaking out on mental health issues — enough to earn her The Trevor Project’s Champion of the Year Award in 2024. She’s also been open about her interest in beauty, revealing her must-have makeup products and always rocking glamorous-yet-minimal looks on red carpets and on stage.
Now, Dua Lipa’s kicking off a skin care line that has everything you need. Talking to ELLE UK, co-founder of DUA, Charles Rosier, sums up this new line perfectly: “It was important to Dua that we create a skin care routine that felt intuitive and not overwhelming: something simple, purposeful, and genuinely effective.”Â
Lipa herself also opened up to British Vogue, stating that in 2016, while touring so often for the first time, she realized she would need a skin care line that matched her on-the-go lifestyle with simple and easy steps. “I wanted to create something that felt like it could really restore and protect my skin,” she told the outlet.
DUA PRODUCTS
Under luxury skin care brand Augustinus Bader, DUA is all about minimalism and science-based formulas. The line includes three easy-to-use products, including a Balancing Cream Cleanser ($40) as the first step in the everyday routine. It removes excess makeup and other buildup from throughout the day while gently but deeply cleansing the skin. Next, the Supercharged Glow Complex ($80) helps with acne and imperfections while giving your face a healthy glow. Last but not least, the Renewal Cream ($75) is a moisturizer that hydrates the skin with a light, smooth texture for comfort on the skin.
Since DUA is made by a luxury skin care brand, it is a bit on the pricier side — but compared to other luxury brands and most other products from Augustinus Bader, it’s relatively affordable. To buy all three products, The Routine costs $195.
HOW TO SHOP DUA
You can find DUA on the DUAbyAB website to shop the products.
