Advantages and Benefits
the method of using badyagi against acne marks
is widespread The unique powder consists of many useful substances, as well as microscopic needles - the main components of the sponge. Upon contact with the skin, they cause local irritation, resulting in tissue heating and intensive blood supply. As a result, the skin receives an additional supply of oxygen and valuable elements. In addition, microscopic needles can work as a scrub, effectively removing dead skin particles from the skin and cleansing pores of impurities.
In addition, biologically active substances, of which there are a lot in the product, also have a beneficial effect on the skin. Such elements are able to easily penetrate the heated dermis and be instantly distributed in its layers by the rush of blood. The substances that make up the base of the sponge effectively improve the production of elastane, lead to regenerative processes, and also have an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect.
So, among the key advantages and capabilities of the badyagi, the following should be highlighted:
- Effective exfoliation of dead cells.
- Reducing the activity of the sebaceous glands.
- Smoothing wrinkles.
- Pore cleansing.
- Drying out acne and rashes.
- Reduced inflammation.
- Elimination of scars and acne marks.
- Fighting bruises and hematomas.
- Fight acne.
- Rapid restoration of damaged skin.
Effect of Badyagi on the skin
Badyaga has several ways to act on the skin:
- irritant - by expanding capillaries, it allows beneficial substances to penetrate cells faster, accelerating their regenerative functions;
- tightening pores - for better skin condition and reducing sebum production. Because of this, the number of inflammations on the face decreases;
- scrubbing - a light peeling effect allows you to remove all dead cells of the upper layer of the dermis and allows nutrients to penetrate to the deepest levels.
What is the value of badyagi
Badyaga is a type of freshwater sponge. A gray-green powder is obtained from freshwater sponge, which is used for cosmetic masks for the face and hair, and is also included in medicinal gels and ointments.The value of badyagi is in its unique composition . The basis of badyagi is an element such as silica. Silica has an intense effect on the skin at the cellular level. Cleanses the skin of old, dead cells, stimulates cell regeneration and the production of its own elastin. As a result, the skin is renewed, freshened and tightened, wrinkles become less noticeable.
According to its structure, silica in the body of the sponge forms a whole network of small needles, which have an irritating effect when they come into contact with the skin. Blood vessels dilate, blood circulation improves. Disturbed cells begin to defend themselves and regenerate quickly. As a result, freckles, signs of post-acne, age spots, bruises under the influence of badyagi become significantly lighter, and with regular use they disappear completely.
Another unique component of badyaga is the natural protein sponginin. Sponginin has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, absorbable, and analgesic effect. Therefore, badyagi masks are effective for skin inflammation and acne.
Use of Badyagi for the treatment of pimples and acne
The content of spongin, which has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect, allows you to quickly get rid of pimples and acne. You can use the drug in the form of gels or cream masks in its purest form, or dilute them with other substances.
After applying Badyagi to the skin, blood circulation in the application areas improves. The sebaceous glands begin to work more normally, which allows you to disperse any stagnant processes.
Simultaneous light peeling to get rid of old layers of skin and an antiseptic to cleanse pores of pathogens, helps prevent the appearance of new acne. Along the way, the skin becomes smoother and more elastic.
Badyaga for stains of different shades
Often, after acne, unpleasant spots and traces of various shades remain, which only spoil the face. Badyaga can help get rid of age spots that remain after pustules and inflammations.
You can use it as a scrub or mask, but if you have red lesions, it is best to temporarily refrain from using it.
But in general, for dark spots, use an exfoliator to exfoliate the top layers of skin with areas of increased pigmentation to even out skin tone and add radiance.
Badyaga for acne scars
If there was a large amount of acne or pimples on the face, then after getting rid of them, not only red spots, but also small scars may remain. Getting rid of them is very difficult and often simply impossible.
The basis of the procedure here should be the constant removal of the upper and, if possible, middle layers of the skin with the help of an irritant, which is Badyaga here. It is constantly necessary to change the depth of exposure to the dermis in order to obtain the desired effect.
In its concept, the procedure is somewhat reminiscent of laser peeling.
Useful properties of badyagi
This organic product has proven itself excellent in the care of different skin types. Not only masks are created on its basis, but also creams, serums, emulsions and scrubs.
The wide range of actions of badyagi is explained by its composition, which contains:
- Spongin is a natural protein antiseptic that has an anti-inflammatory effect.
- Silica or silicon oxide is one of the components of earth rocks, which is also present in small quantities in human blood. It stimulates collagen synthesis, has a mild peeling effect and launches rejuvenation processes.
