She Had Beads Literally Stuck In Her Pores After Using A Popular Drugstore Facial Scrub
Drugstore facial scrubs with colored beads have become a go-to for many people looking to combat acne and dry skin.
But, a woman named Emma recently shared her unexpected face scrub horror story with the TikTok community.
Emma was visiting her aesthetician for a facial and, during the service, was asked what kind of face wash she used.
Emma explained how she ran out of her normal facial cleanser and had been using a popular drugstore brand facial scrub.
“Are there any orange or red beads in it?” the aesthetician asked before alerting Emma that there were actual beads stuck inside her pores.
“Beads have been stuck in my face! She pulled out multiple beads!” Emma explained while showing the various parts of her face where beads had to be removed.
She has also pledged never to use a facial scrub that has beads again and hopes people will spread the word.
Her TikTok reached 1.9 million people, gained over two hundred and twenty thousand likes, and sparked concern amongst many commenters.

“You’re telling me that my facial wash I have been using for years is probably why my acne never fully goes away?” wrote one upset commenter.
“This happened to one of my old clients! They [beads] got stuck in the skin and began to mold…” commented another user.
“Welp, I probably still have tiny beads in my pores since the early 2000s when I used that stuff,” added a third.
Since Emma’s video blew up, many viewers also had loads of questions– the most frequent one being “how do the beads get stuck?” She created a follow-up TikTok to explain this after talking with her aesthetician.
“I went back to my aesthetician for my wax, and she was explaining to me how each time I washed my face, I was opening my pores and scrubbing,” Emma said.
But, at the end of washing her face, Emma would use cold water since it is good for limiting inflammation. The cold shock made her pores close, trapping the beads inside.
Emma also shared how she plans to do more research into the best drugstore face washes and share them with her followers. To stay updated, you can visit her account linked here.
