Indications for the procedure
The main purpose of bodyaga peeling is the sanitation of oily, inflammatory skin. The product perfectly normalizes sebum secretion, helps to narrow pores, and has a positive effect on the internal functioning of tissues.
This does not mean that owners of other skin types will have to stop using the substance. You just need to be more careful when choosing the ingredients of a cleansing mask.
Body peeling is useful for solving the following problems:
- tendency to form pimples, comedones, blackheads, teenage (hormonal) rashes;
- predisposition to swelling, bruising;
- aging (flabby) skin without signs of dehydration;
- dull complexion;
- post-acne, small scars;
- spread of hyperpigmentation;
- decreased tissue tone.
Attention! The age of the patient is not important for using the product. The main thing is to exclude contraindications. The product is used as regular and situational care.
Peeling or scrubs?
A few years ago, cosmetologists encouraged girls and women to regularly use scrubs to exfoliate dead cells. Essentially, scrubs are a gentler exfoliation. But today, American and domestic cosmetologists advise giving up scrubs. This is a harsh and traumatic method of exfoliation, much less effective than peeling. In addition, the scrub damages the skin.
If acne periodically appears on your face and your pores are enlarged, then a scrub may worsen the problem rather than solve it. Both domestic and foreign dermatologists advise leaving scrubs for use on the skin of the body before a solarium or sunbathing, and using peeling for the face.
Efficiency of the procedure
As a result of body peeling, oily skin becomes more matte, the number of inflammations decreases, and pores become narrower. The procedure helps eliminate a tired look: the complexion is evened out, swelling and dark circles disappear. Loose skin is tightened, age spots and freckles are lightened. A single procedure guarantees cleansing and refreshing of tissues. Regular exposure (once a month) contributes to a complete transformation of appearance: improving the quality of the integument, rejuvenation.
Preparatory stage
With proper aftercare, the procedure can be performed at any time of the year. Intervention should be carried out with caution during periods of increased solar activity, when severe frosts are likely.
Preparation for the procedure involves eliminating contraindications. Active inflammation (ulcers), dermatological defects (eczema), viral rashes (herpes) are first treated with treatment.
Before performing bodyaga peeling, it is important to choose the right mask composition. It is necessary to carefully examine the skin, determine the type, and it would be a good idea to seek the advice of a cosmetologist. It is recommended to conduct a preliminary allergy test of the product.
Progress of the procedure
The greatest demand is for a mixture of bodyaga and hydrogen peroxide. The product has maximum sanitizing capabilities. After using the substance, the skin becomes fresh and tightened. Peeling is prepared and performed according to the following scheme:
- Preparation of the composition. Fill the container with 2–3 tsp. bodyaga powder from a bag or crush 5-6 tablets of the substance. Liquid hydrogen peroxide (3%) is added to the dry ingredient in small portions. The components are carefully combined by mixing. The consistency of the finished substance is similar to liquid sour cream. The mixture should be homogeneous, without lumps.
- Skin preparation. Covers are cleansed of cosmetics and dirt. It is recommended to use soft cosmetic milk, gel, foam or other similar product for washing. You cannot additionally apply scrubs, exposing vulnerable tissues.
- Performing peeling. Apply the previously prepared mixture using fingers wearing disposable gloves or a cosmetic brush in an even layer on the face. Delicate areas (around the lips, eyes) are not treated. For additional protection of delicate areas, you can pre-apply a rich cream (as when doing hair coloring). The mask can be applied to problem areas in 2 layers: after the composition has dried, repeat the processing procedure. The substance is kept on the face for up to a quarter of an hour. The composition is washed off with cool water, gradually soaking the layer of substance.
- Consolidation of the effect. The skin is nourished and moisturized with cream according to skin type. You can first apply a cooling compress, replace cosmetics with fatty kefir from the refrigerator. The product is applied with soft, patting touches of clean fingers.
After the procedure, it is not recommended to go outside. It is advisable to perform the intervention in the evening and give the skin a night's rest. It is advisable to carry out the procedure before the weekend. The appearance will be able to return to normal.
The Bodyaga peeling option with hydrogen peroxide is more suitable for oily, normal skin. For delicate cleansing, use a mixture of bodyaga and clay (1:2), diluted with warm water. For dry, sensitive skin, it is better to use bodyaga mixed with nourishing cream or diluted with mineral water. The second option will additionally saturate the tissues with oxygen and minerals. Apply the compositions in the same way. On problem areas, the mixture can be gently rubbed into the skin.
Revitalizing skin care
During the procedure, silica needles are embedded into the skin. This causes irritation of the integument. The face turns red, dead cells begin to actively peel off from the surface. The process takes 1–3 days. During this period, it is important to properly care for the integument. It is forbidden:
- steam (visit a bathhouse, sauna);
- sunbathing in the sun, in a solarium;
- use other cleansers (exfoliating masks, scrubs, hardware procedures).
A high-fat cream is applied to the skin twice a day. Before going outside, use a product with a UV filter. In cold weather, it is mandatory to use cold protection.
The result of bodya peeling is noticeable immediately after completion of rehabilitation: the skin becomes more even, smooth, and fresh. The skin is subsequently less susceptible to inflammation, the depth of wrinkles gradually decreases, and the skin tightens.
Important! Frequency of procedures: 1 time per month for dry, normal-looking skin. For oily skin, if the product is tolerated satisfactorily, it is permissible to carry out the intervention 2–4 times a month. For prevention, 2 procedures are performed per year; for therapy, a course of 5–10 consecutive sessions is required.
Operating principle and effective result of exfoliation with bodyaga
The tradition of doing peeling with bodyaga (also correctly “badyaga”) came to us from Ancient Rus'. Our enterprising ancestors treated wounds, scars and wounds with it. It was also used for skin rejuvenation.
Modern fashionistas who want to achieve effective cleansing and rejuvenation of their skin are happy to resort to an ancient remedy. Thanks to modern technologies and the use of centuries-old experience accumulated by our predecessors, peelings and other cosmetics with bodyaga in modern versions give even greater results.
Did you know? Many fashionistas, without delving into the question, believe that badyaga belongs to the plant family. In fact, this coelenterate is a freshwater sponge that is repulsive in appearance and actually resembles a plant.
After exfoliation of the described type, the following processes occur in the epidermis:
- increased protection against irritants and bacteria;
- increased tone;
- cell strengthening;
- renewal of skin fibers and regeneration;
- stimulation of the blood circulation process;
- stimulating activity and nutrients in the body.
As a result, at home, without much effort, you can achieve the same skin improvement results that are achieved with expensive and sometimes painful salon procedures.
Now let's look at the effect you will get by using this miracle cure:
- rapid resorption of microcracks and bruises;
- drying effect, which is especially useful for oily skin, pimples and rashes go away, post-acne pores tighten;
- by activating nutritional components and stimulating blood microcirculation, epidermal cells are strengthened, the skin gains strength and the ability to more actively protect itself from external aggressors;
- a lifting effect that occurs due to the activation of regeneration processes: bumps and pits are smoothed out, wrinkles disappear or become less pronounced. The face acquires a clear and tightened contour.
- The dermis is cleansed - corky sebaceous formations, keratinized layers, and dead cells are removed.
Sometimes just one procedure is enough to achieve the effect.

Opinion of cosmetologists
Doctors say that all aggressive procedures must be carried out by cosmetologists. This will help avoid negative consequences. Peeling with badyagi, especially when supplemented with hydrogen peroxide, is considered a serious chemical composition that can cause harm. Cosmetologists warn that using the facial cleansing option is fraught with complications. Doctors allow the use of the product to eliminate stretch marks on the body.
The cosmetologist is sure that it is impossible to carry out the intervention on your own.
A cosmetologist talks about a patient who received a chemical burn and performed the procedure on her own.
Properties of badyagi
Colonies of freshwater sponges, from which badyagu is obtained, can be found in many bodies of water. Its healing and rejuvenating properties have been known since ancient times.
It is important to remember that before using any medicine it is better to visit a doctor or consult a cosmetologist. Self-indulgence in this matter can lead to undesirable consequences and harm to health.
The basis of the internal skeleton of a sponge is silica. Its sharp needles affect the epidermis and stimulate collagen production. Surface blood supply and protective properties of the skin are improved. The spongin protein in the composition has an antiseptic and analgesic effect.
Peeling with a badyagi is a universal cleaning. Suitable for all skin types and acceptable at any age.
This procedure reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands, fights pigmentation and post-acne. It perfectly exfoliates old cells, which leads to skin rejuvenation: turgor is restored, pigment spots fade, and there are fewer rashes.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Badyaga is used in pharmacology as a local remedy with analgesic and, most importantly, absorbent properties. With the help of badyagi, bruises are removed literally in one procedure.
