         2 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the solid beads include a puffing agent that forms a gas when exposed to an elevated temperature thereby causing the respective protrusions to rise and provide three dimensional geometry. 
     
     
         3 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic material is selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, or copolymers thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the textured wipe is approximately 5 cm. 
     
     
         5 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein a height of the solid beads is respectively in the range of 0.020 to 0.040 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the solid beads is respectively 0.040 to 0.60 inches at the base surface. 
     
     
         7 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein
 the base surface has a surface area,   the beads each include a contact surface having a surface area and at least one side wall surface extending between the base surface and the contact surface, and   the surface area of the base surface is greater than the surface area of the contact surface.   
     
     
         8 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the beads each have a truncated conical shape. 
     
     
         9 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the beads include abrasive particles. 
     
     
         10 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , further comprising a coating adhered to the wipe surface of the cotton wipe sheet, the coating including an acrylic binder. 
     
     
         11 . The textured wipe of  claim 10 , wherein the coating includes one or more of a skin cleaning agent, a medicinal agent, an exfoliating agent, and a soap material. 
     
     
         12 . The textured wipe of  claim 11 , wherein the exfoliating agent includes abrasive particles. 
     
     
         13 . The textured wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the beads include an acrylic. 
     
     
         14 . A method of cleansing, comprising:
 providing a textured wipe, the textured wipe including
 a nonwoven cotton wipe sheet having a wipe surface and an opposing back surface; 
 a plurality of solid beads; and 
 a cotton backer sheet attached to the back surface of the cotton wipe sheet such that the cotton backer sheet is in contact with the back surface of the cotton wipe sheet, wherein 
 the beads each have a base surface contiguous with the wipe surface and adhered to the wipe surface, 
 the beads each have a three dimensional geometry that extends outwardly from the wipe surface, and 
 the beads include a thermoplastic material; and 
   applying the textured wipe to a surface to cleanse.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein a coating adhered to the wipe surface includes one or more of a skin cleaning agent, a medicinal agent, an exfoliating agent, and a soap material. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the thermoplastic material is selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, or copolymers thereof. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein a diameter of the textured wipe is approximately 5 cm. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein a height of the solid beads is respectively in the range of 0.020 to 0.040 inches. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein a diameter of the solid beads is respectively 0.040 to 0.60 inches at the base surface. 
     
     
         20 . A method of removing makeup, comprising:
 providing a textured wipe, the textured wipe including
 a nonwoven cotton wipe sheet having a wipe surface and an opposing back surface; 
 a plurality of solid beads; and 
 a cotton backer sheet attached to the back surface of the cotton wipe sheet such that the cotton backer sheet is in contact with the back surface of the cotton wipe sheet, wherein 
 the beads each have a base surface contiguous with the wipe surface and adhered to the wipe surface, 
 the beads each have a three dimensional geometry that extends outwardly from the wipe surface, and 
 the beads include a thermoplastic material; and 
   wiping the textured wipe against the makeup to remove the makeup.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein a coating adhered to the wipe surface includes one or more of a skin cleaning agent, a medicinal agent, an exfoliating agent, and a soap material. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the thermoplastic material is selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, or copolymers thereof.
