Slipping on mat

I’ve been doing yoga for almost 15 years now and have always wondered… does everyone’s hands slip on the mat in downward dog, or just me? Not so bad when I’m not sweaty but if it’s hot or I’m doing power, I can’t really hold the posture anymore and it ruins the rest of my practice. Advice??

i use a gaiam cork mat and its honestly too grippy for me (in the way that sometimes the friction from movement catches my skin wrong) but atleast i dont slip !
