Benefits for the skin
Bodyaga is an absolutely natural absorbent product for external use. The substance is sold in any pharmacy in powder form in 5-10 g bags. or tablets. The cost of the product depends on the location of the pharmacy, starting from 8–10 rubles. The average price in retail outlets in Moscow ranges from 50–80 rubles.
Bodyaga powder is prepared from dried freshwater algae. The plant resembles a sponge in appearance and inherent qualities. The dry substance turns out to be dark gray, black in color with characteristic inclusions - particles of silica resembling small needles. It is this component that works effectively: it cleanses the skin and has a positive effect on blood circulation.
Who is this drug contraindicated for?
A mask with bodyaga has a fairly strong effect on the skin, so its use must be approached with extreme caution, with mandatory preliminary testing for sensitivity and allergic reactions. In addition, some people should avoid using this remedy altogether, namely:
- For those with dry, thin, irritation-prone skin
- For those who have thin blood vessels located close to the surface of the skin, spider veins
- For skin diseases, injuries and defects in the area of the face to be treated
Use Cases
Bodyaga peeling is performed according to the principle of a mask. The composition, prepared strictly according to the recipe, is applied to the surface of the face or body, left for 15–20 minutes to act, and washed off with water. This is enough to effectively cleanse the skin. There is no need to rub or massage the skin treated with the product. This can lead to tissue injury.
The simplest option for using the properties of bodyaga is to treat the skin with a special gel from a tube, completely ready for use. The substance is considered safer, because the composition is perfectly coordinated, the gel consistency of the drug is characterized by a delicate effect. The product can also be purchased in pharmacies.

The disadvantage of factory-made gels from badyagi in comparison with powder is the possible difficulties with changing the concentration if the effect of the product is not strong enough.

Perhaps the most popular ready-made cosmetic product with badyaga, which is used against pigmentation, is the Badyaga Forte gel. Sold in 75 ml plastic tubes. The average cost for 1 package is 75–90 rubles.

It is smooth and velvety to the touch, has an even peach-pinkish tone. After peeling with badyaga, there will be no need to use foundation and powder for a long time.
For mature skin, this product will help delay the appearance of deep wrinkles.

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.
Features of application
If used incorrectly, it can cause serious harm, including skin burns.
- The product should not be swallowed, inhaled (when preparing the mixture, it is better to cover your mouth and nose with a bandage), and apply to the area around the eyes and mouth.
- Apply only to prepared skin.
- Be sure to conduct a tolerance test. For those with sensitive epidermis, it is better to consult a dermatologist and cosmetologist in advance.
- After removing the mask, it is recommended to hold off on applying moisturizing and soothing creams, allowing the skin to rest and breathe a little. To avoid any irritation, it is better to apply a hypoallergenic face cream.
- Mild redness may persist for several hours after the procedure, so it is better to perform it at night or on a weekend.
- After the procedure, you should not be in the sun. If this cannot be avoided, then you need to use a high-quality cream with ultraviolet protection. Therefore, you need to know the rating of the best face creams.
- It is strictly forbidden to keep the product longer than the period specified in the recipe!

A baking soda face mask will help you cope with acne.
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.
Add clay
A mask with clay and badyaga is another way to use the wonderful capabilities of this unique animal. It has the following effects on the skin of the face:
- helps get rid of acne, pustular elements, relieves inflammation
- makes scars and acne marks much less pronounced
- helps eliminate age spots, freckles, evens out complexion
- increases skin tone, tightens facial contours
- smoothes shallow expression wrinkles, improves skin texture
Absolutely any variety of cosmetic clay is suitable for carrying out this procedure, but, as reviews show, white varieties are more effective.
Method for preparing the mixture:
- Mix badyagi powder with clay powder in a one to one ratio. Typically, one teaspoon of each powder is sufficient. Dilute the mixture with warm boiled water to the consistency of thick sour cream.
- Apply the resulting mass in a fairly thick layer to the face. Movements should be smooth, stroking; Under no circumstances should the medicinal pulp be rubbed in, so as not to injure the epidermal tissue. After application, a feeling of heat, burning and tingling will appear. If they are tolerable, everything is fine. However, if all these manifestations of the action of bodyaga become too strong, the product should be washed off immediately.
- If the skin is thick enough and not prone to irritation and inflammation, you can clean it with a special product and scrub before applying the mask, and then wipe it dry. But if the product is applied for the first time, then the preliminary cleansing must be approached with caution - the fact is that the skin, irritated by the abrasive particles of the scrub, may react too strongly to the badyagi powder, and the product will have to be washed off much earlier than it should.
- Leave the product on your face for twenty to thirty minutes, then carefully rinse with warm water. Lubricate the skin with nourishing cream.
This procedure, which has received numerous positive reviews, is carried out no more than once or twice a week, depending on the type and individual sensitivity of the skin.

How to do facial peeling with badyaga at home
While on a cosmetic search, I finally decided to choose not a salon option first, but a home one. We were captivated by the promising results, the meager financial costs, and the simplicity of the recipe and implementation. For the procedure you need to prepare in advance:
- 1 bag of badyagi;
- hydrogen peroxide;
- salicylic alcohol;
- strong infusion of chamomile;
- latex gloves.
It is necessary to plan the procedure exclusively for the cold season (from October to March), when the sun is not so active. And it’s best for a vacation or several weekends in a row, when you can sit at home. Just Saturday and Sunday are not enough because you won't look your best during the week
Now, the process itself... The very first thing to do is put on gloves! Badyaga is diluted with hydrogen peroxide to the state of liquid sour cream. You can take peroxide and water in a 1:1 ratio. Sometimes the mass is diluted with clay, but it is better to leave this component for other cases. When the mask is ready, it is applied to the face and rubbed into the skin.
Attention! The area of the eyes and lips is not affected when peeling with badyagi.
The mixture should be rubbed in for several minutes. It is more convenient to do this with both hands at once, but make sure that the right and left sides of the face receive the same force from your side. Your face will sting badly, don’t be alarmed – this is a natural phenomenon. Additionally, you can keep the mask on your face for another five minutes, then rinse and wipe your skin with chamomile infusion. Blot with a towel and wait for the reaction; it will appear after a few hours in the form of severe redness. Moreover, the more you rubbed the badyagu, the brighter the color will be.
After a day, the redness will subside and the skin will begin to peel. You can’t wash your face during this entire time; only wipe your face with salicylic acid in the morning for the first two days. You also can’t remove the “scales” on purpose. All this time, it is undesirable to appear in the bright sun, even if it is winter. Once the peeling has ended and the skin has cleared, you should use sunscreen daily.

What is bodyaga?
In fact, bodyaga is a living creature, although many people mistake it for a dried plant. The substance is a dried colony of sea sponges that live in rivers and lakes. Preparations based on the substance have always been and continue to be used to combat bruises, bruises and rheumatism. This is due to the analgesic, local irritant and anti-inflammatory properties of the animal powder.
The positive effect of using the substance is observed due to the high content of silica in the powder. This component is the hard skeleton of the animal. When ground into powder, the bodyagi skeleton gradually turns into small elements that are practically invisible to the eye, but at the same time have the shape of microscopic needles. It is also worth learning more about how gas-liquid peeling is done and how often such a procedure can be performed.
But you can read here how peeling with glycolic acid is done, and what indications there may be for such a procedure.
It is thanks to these microneedles that the substance is so widely used in medicine and cosmetology. Without causing much damage to the epidermis, it effectively and quickly tightens and changes its color. This is due to the good local irritant effect of the powder. Bodyaga has a number of limitations and contraindications due to its ability to injure the skin.
After using a facial peel, redness and slight irritation are observed, which disappear after a few days and end with peeling of areas of the skin. It is not recommended to use the substance too often. This can lead to dark areas, decreased elasticity and increased irritability of the skin.
