Bodyaga peeling will help you get rid of imperfections on the skin, cleanse pores and remove the stratum corneum without significant expenses for salon procedures.
Bodyaga powder is made from dried algae, so it contains silica particles, which have a positive effect on the dermis. Since ancient times, it has been used to quickly get rid of bruises, eliminate the symptoms of arthritis and resolve bruises.
Benefits for the skin
Badyagi peeling has the following effects on the epidermis:
- cleanses acne, comedones and pimples;
- eliminates puffiness and dark circles under the eyes;
- removes expression lines and reduces the depth of age wrinkles;
- tightens the skin, restores its elasticity and tone;
- reduces the number of freckles or age spots;
- evens out the complexion.
Peeling with bodyaga can be used to cleanse any type of epidermis - regular procedures will help maintain youth for many years.
The peeling procedure is reminiscent of coral or laser polishing - after removing dead cells through irritation, the dermis is renewed.
Use Cases
To achieve the best result, bodyagi peeling is used in combination with other components:
- With cream. Mix 1 tbsp. l. bodyaga powder and nourishing agent, apply to the face and leave for 15 minutes, rinse - nourishes and cleanses the dermis. Best cleanses combination skin.
- With mineral water. Combine 1 tsp. bodyagi with 2 tbsp. l. mineral water, apply, rinse after 10 minutes - effectively removes surface impurities and saturates the dermis with oxygen. Suitable for all types of epidermis.
- With clay. To 1 tsp. bodyagi add 1 tbsp. l. any cosmetic clay, treat the skin, rinse after 10-15 minutes - tightens the dermis and evens out the complexion. Recommended for sensitive skin.

Beneficial properties of bodyaga and hydrogen peroxide for facial skin
It should be clarified that in medicine the concepts of “badyaga” and “badyaga” are equivalent. Even on pharmacy counters you can see medicinal products with different spellings, but they are similar in action. Badyaga is a natural substance. It is a sponge that lives in bodies of fresh water in shallow water. Thistles live in colonies, clinging to stones and snags. They can reach a meter in size over a life span of 2 years.
The sponge is collected in the summer and dried in direct sun, spread out in a thin layer. Dried bodyaga has a gray-green tint. In medicine and cosmetology it is used in powdered form. When rubbed, it emits a sharp, unpleasant odor. But you can see what this hair procedure looks like and how it is done here.
The therapeutic effect of bodyaga is due to the presence of silica in it, which resembles tiny needles. They dig into the epidermis, thereby irritating the skin and causing a tingling sensation.

Contraindications and precautions
Despite the safety of the procedure, there are a number of contraindications to peeling with bodyaga and hydrogen peroxide. This should include allergic reactions to components, the presence of open wounds and abrasions, various infectious skin diseases in the acute stage. Peeling is not recommended for diseases such as rosacea, when the capillaries are located very close to the surface of the skin and can easily be damaged.
Before the procedure, a sensitivity test should be performed. To do this, apply the prepared mixture to the inner elbow and observe the skin reaction for some time. If only slight redness occurs, accompanied by a slight tingling sensation, this can be considered a normal skin response to the action of the drug. But in what case the procedure is done for oily skin and how effective it can be is detailed here.
If severe itching occurs, a rash, blisters, or red spots appear that spread to other parts of the body, there is increased sensitivity, and peeling with these components is contraindicated.
But in what case the procedure for the head is done at home and to whom it is most often prescribed, is outlined here.
Avoid contact of the mixture with the mouth, eyes and mucous membranes. If this does happen, you should quickly wash off the mixture under running water. Particular care must be taken when mixing bodyaga and peroxide, since the sponge powder is dusty and can easily penetrate the respiratory tract, causing allergies and inflammation.
Progress of the procedure
Most often, the face is cleansed with bodyaga with peroxide in several stages:
- Preparation of the mixture. Place 3 tsp in a container. bodyagi and, stirring regularly, pour in 3% peroxide. The consistency should resemble liquid sour cream and have no lumps.
- Preliminary preparation. The face is cleansed with a mild cleanser; scrubs should not be used.
- Basic cleaning. The cleansing composition is distributed over the skin in an even layer using a soft brush. When applying, avoid the area around the eyes and lips. To protect delicate areas, it is recommended to pre-apply a rich cream to them. After 5–10 minutes, apply the next layer and leave for another 10 minutes.
- Completion. The mask is washed off with warm water, and a moisturizer or kefir is applied to the face.
The best time to exfoliate is before bed, as this allows the epidermis to recover overnight. If a burning sensation occurs that causes discomfort, it is recommended to treat the face with Panthenol.
Restorative skin care
After using bodyaga peeling from a specialist or on your own at home, at first you need to adhere to a number of rules:
- use a rich nourishing cream daily - this will reduce the risk of inflammation
- Avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight and use sunscreen before going outside;
- Do not visit saunas, open water or solariums for several days after cleansing.
Those with dry skin should use bodyagi peeling to cleanse their face no more than once a month; for oily epidermis, the frequency increases to once every 7–10 days.
Expert opinion
Anastasia Zaslavskaya

Bodyaga peeling reviews from cosmetologists
Reviews from cosmetologists about bodyaga peeling are positive; everyone agrees that it has beneficial properties. But, as some of them rightly claim, the same effect can be achieved by using professional cosmetics, which are more convenient to apply and impress clients with the brand name and pleasant aroma.
Crushed freshwater sponge is included in skin cleansing and rejuvenating products from Lacrima and Rose de Mer.
Among the information from users, the memories of clients of beauty salons, whose masters used badyagu, look especially indicative. Absolutely everyone agrees that this remedy has no equal in its absorbent, anti-inflammatory effect for getting rid of acne and its consequences.
Badyagi powder and products containing it should probably be on hand for parents of teenagers and those with oily, porous skin prone to inflammation and the appearance of infiltrates. And for thin, dry skin with fragile blood vessels and prone to excess hair growth, there are softer products.

Patient reviews
- Zoya, 30 years old: “For several years now I have been doing 3-4 peels with a mixture of badyagi and hydrogen peroxide in the winter during the holidays, because after cleansing red spots and peeling appear on the skin. But after a week, my face looks younger, elasticity returns and acne disappears. The visible effect remains for several months.”
- Elena, 25 years old: “I cleanse my face with bodyaga and mineral water - this recipe helped me get rid of age spots and redness. The product is inexpensive, but very effective, and it has minimal side effects - I recommend it to everyone.”
- Tatyana, 27 years old: “A great way to get rid of post-acne, old scars and reduce the production of subcutaneous sebum. The main thing is to apply the peeling in a thin layer and not rub it into the skin, otherwise the redness will take a very long time to go away. Badyaga is my cheap salvation from acne and oily sheen, which I have been using for many years.”
When peeling with badyaga and peroxide, it is important to follow all the rules and not overexpose the product - ignoring the recommendations can provoke the appearance of age spots, burns and severe drying of the skin.

Feedback from users
Anastasia, 35 years old
“I heard that peeling with bodyaga and peroxide is very effective and is used after epilation of the legs and bikini area. This helps get rid of ingrown hairs into the skin. I tried this exfoliation on my legs and felt a tingling sensation for 2 days after the procedure. I’m not sure if this composition can be used on the face.”
Elena, 30 years old
“I really enjoyed exfoliating with a freshwater sponge and hydrogen peroxide. The skin became more even, and acne spots became completely invisible.”
Valeria, 39 years old
“I can recommend peeling with badyaga as a treatment for oily skin. Before exfoliation, you can do a light exfoliation with fruit acids. It is important to follow all recommendations for post-peeling care: protect your face from aggressive natural factors. Under no circumstances should you tear off the scales of the epidermis while they are peeling off!”
Ekaterina, 27 years old
“I decided to try this type of exfoliation after a friend’s recommendation. Her face became young, toned and fresh. But the result disappointed me. There are even more acne on my face than there were before the peeling. The face was very itchy and peeled for another 2 weeks.”
Nika, 38 years old
“I have been practicing peeling with badyaga for 15 years and am pleased with the result. The procedure is especially good at eliminating marks from acne and pimples. I have oily skin with enlarged pores, and I don’t feel any particular pain from this exfoliation. The tingling and redness goes away within a day. I think you should try it on a small area first. All people are different".
Vera, 25 years old
“Yesterday I did a peroxide peeling with badyaga. I kept the composition on my face for 10 minutes. There was no redness or burning. I didn’t notice any special effect.”
Anna, 29 years old
“I usually do a mask with bodyaga on Thursday. The face becomes red and there is a feeling of tightness. By the weekend the skin begins to peel off in pieces. I have already done 8 procedures and the acne scars have noticeably decreased. A friend recommended doing 20 procedures until the face is completely smooth. I take a 1 week break between peels.”
