If you like these kinds of scrubs - try and find one with perfectly round beads as they do not puncture the skin.
On a side not - anything with little beads in it is very dangerous for the environment - these pellets do not disintegrate and pollute the ocean causing terrible pollution... the fish try and eat them and end up dying...
Also EWG.ORG is a FANTASTIC resource for information on beauty products, food and much more.

Ah, well that's nice you worked at Clinique. You must know all the secret beauty tricks, and YIKES about causing tears in the skin, that could explain some tiny unhealed acne wounds from my past ( my face is clear for the most part).I used it like religion in my earlier days. It's a fantastic dirt remover, I do use netrogena facial scrubs/cleaners too, but good to know about the apricot beads.
Great link, thanks for sharing.
