Woman claims esthetician found microbeads in her pores from popular face scrub

A TikToker alleges that using a popular face scrub caused her skin to become full of beads. After visiting her esthetician, @emickkah claimed the skin care professional discovered microbeads inside of her pores. The esthetician suspected the culprit was a Neutrogena grapefruit scrub she had been using. She tossed the face wash in the trash and issued a warning on TikTok. "There were beads in my skin.
