I had been using chemical sunscreen ( Beauty of Joseon) daily since past one year and lately I noticed that my skin has turned several shades more yellow. At first i just couldn’t understand how it was happening, ran several blood tests, everything came back normal. Eventually i deduced that it was most likely due to the sunscreen . It’s been 2 weeks now that i stopped using that chemical sunscreen and borrowed some of my sister’s mineral sunscreen instead. My skin is visibly returning to it’s original shade now. Please suggest some of the safest , efficient mineral sunscreens without parabens and sulfates.

I have had painless periods throughout teenage and early adulthood but just as I turned 26, i suddenly experienced excruciating pain in lower abdomen during menses, pain occurring once every 3-4 months, the gap began to shorten as i grew older until it became every month.
My periods cycle was always right on time , 5 days bleeding, every month. No one else in my family suffers from this, i wasn’t on any other medication before this began. So this has left me wondering how did it happen to me, was it some external trigger or is it some gene that we are born with which causes this ? My mom says that it is because of “packet food” and chemicals in our food. I wonder if her hypothesis holds any truth and is there any scientific study that has linked endometriosis with exposure to chemicals/ external influences?
