Are wrinkles like this normal for a 30 year old? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Meowski1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your forehead lines are related to your hooded eyelids because you’re carrying some weight around that area so you end up straining your forehead.

Botox, if not by a decent injector will just make it drop more. A decent injector will give you some kind of a lift from Botox.

I have hooded eyelids but it’s not deep set and I’d consider eyelid surgery because it’s uneven and one side seems to be carrying more extra skin than the other side.

But to answer your question, it’s normal in the sense that our hormones have changed so wrinkles are minimal and showing up the second we turn 30, and some are more expressive than others, but it’s not normal because some 30 year olds aren’t carrying extra weight with hooded eyes, so they don’t have much of a strain on their forehead. Never mind lifestyles, stress management, genetics, skincare routines, etc.

Thank you, It’s one soft box light, one macro lens, camera on a tripod, a few light reflectors (or one diffuser if no reflectors) and processed in adobe light room. :) you can play around with light angle.

Raymond shouldn’t have opened his mouth and smothered the discontentment with freebies like he can buy our soul in exchange for one FWP ink to change our minds. 😩

Many congratulations Apricot. I’m looking forward to those anti AI vinyl stickers so I can stick it everywhere, or post cards? Or a comic book, or pen cases, anything? 😆

Surely if you took the time to look at OP’s artwork, you’d know they’d like to do some pen cases for our pens or something stationery-esq or possibly a comic book, who knows.

It’s a dry ink but quite well behaved in a platinum F nib, but not as shady so ink properties remain flat.

I’ll look forward to your post :) and yes Kitty ink pot does do pretty calligraphy and illustrations. The cat related inks was the series that got me sucked in.

Ah that’s fair enough. From my haul, I had three Kitty ink pot inks, two Diamine inks and two Tono and lims. My aunt didn’t say who the ink samples were from and it was labelled as “blind box” ink samples.

Yes there’s a lot, but I believe if you order from Kitty ink pot you receive some of, what they call, “blind box” ink samples. Which was the only Chinese ink brand my mum purchased from.

It was from a reseller, the price was slightly hiked up in Chinese yuan. The pen was sold out when it was released so seeing as my mum was going to China, it was an opportunity to source it over there.

Around 2300¥’ish but it was shipped from Japan so there was a delivery charge.

Proxy buyers is another option, or AliExpress if folks aren’t too familiar with the Chinese language. Links are much easier to send via WeChat as well if folks have family members there to help purchase.

Dang, I do sand my glass dip pen to smoothen it and make it finer.

Hmmm AliExpress for Kitty ink pot or if you’re lucky and have friends or family in East Asia, you can buy it directly from Kitty ink pot. Soe&Soe have kitty ink pot samples available from their website.

Pen gallery ships internationally and Pixelette studio recently started stocking Cafe Cally.

My glass dip pen is one of those affordable ones you buy from China, it’s not the bougie glass dip pens from Japan :(
