The magic of SPF: Understanding how sunscreen protects your skin

Magic Make Sunscreen is a revolutionary product that combines the benefits of sunscreen and makeup in one. This innovative formula provides effective sun protection while also enhancing the appearance of the skin. With Magic Make Sunscreen, you no longer have to choose between protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun and looking your best. One of the key features of Magic Make Sunscreen is its broad-spectrum SPF protection. This means that it shields the skin from both UVA and UVB rays, which are responsible for causing sunburns, premature aging, and skin cancer. By using Magic Make Sunscreen, you can ensure that your skin is well-protected from the sun's harmful rays.

An ignited Witch will die in 15 seconds, but it is important to note that she will change aggression to whoever was responsible for igniting her. Fire is very useful in killing Witches since her high speed and the risk of friendly fire on higher difficulties can make gunning her down difficult.

The runner should attack the Witch, preferably with a molotov or a gas can detonated by gunfire to ignite the Witch, or a scoped rifle if she is at a fair distance from the runner. Some players prefer crouching in front of the Witch, thereby tightening the shotgun cross-hairs and increasing the chance of getting all the pellets in the Witch s face.

By using Magic Make Sunscreen, you can ensure that your skin is well-protected from the sun's harmful rays. Another advantage of Magic Make Sunscreen is its ability to provide coverage and improve the appearance of blemishes and imperfections. The formula includes ingredients that help to blur the appearance of pores, smooth out skin tone, and provide a natural-looking finish.

ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Yes, this is an old, old troll (in the non-Tolkenien sense).

Who was responsible for the death (er. un-death) of the Witch-King?

Eowyn or Merry? Sword of Westernesse or pure Rohan-gal pluck?

Peter Jackson got around it by digging out the WK - "No man can kill me. " Eowyn - "I am no man!" solution, which I've always found a little too neat.

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts.

Merry did stab the Witch-King from behind before Eowyn got a whack at him, but I think the context (in both the book and the movie) make it clear that she was responsible for his death.

I like Merry. Him and his insatiable bloodlust.

The Witch-King was IMPERVIOUS to Merry's weapon though, I think, thanks to that fate the Witch-king had.

IIRC the Witch-King was said to die because both Eowyn and Merry weren't mortal men (but a woman and hobbit). But I wondered recently whether he died truly or was just banished for some time, as when the Nazgul were flooded.

I always got the impression from the books that Merry's stab distracted the Witch-King, giving Eowyn the chance to kill him.

merry certainly hurt the witch-king. there has been debate whether merry's blow enabled eowyn to deliver the coupe de grace.

Because it was a Blade of Westernesse.

Did the enchanted nature of the blade "poison" the Witch-King, or did it merely weaken his defences allowing Eowyn to kill 'im?

For mine, Eowyn did diddly squat. goooooOOOOO Hobbits!

JRR Tolkien wrote: Merry's sword had stabbed him from behind, shearing through the black mantle, and passing up beneath the hauberk had pierced the sinew behind his mighty knee.
"Eowyn! Eowyn!" cried Merry. Then torttering, struggling up, with her last strnength she drove her sword between crown and mantle as the great shoulders bowed before her.

Merry's blow cause the Witch-King to topple (a blow to the knee) this gave Eowyn the advantage of height she needde to deliver the fatal blow.

OK, Merry got in a hit, but Eowyn made the kill.

No need to poll on what Tolkien made clear.

There's a line in one of the appendices. or somewhere -- damn, now I have to go look -- in which it states that Merry's sword "unbound his sinew" or something, which weakened him and enabled Eowyn to get in a killing blow.

Definitely the blade of westernesse did it as there is mention in the books and history of the peoples who made that blade solely for the unmaking of the Enemy and his works. The encyclopaedia of Arda has a bit of info on that for anyone interested in looking it up. Jackson filmed it with the intention of leaving room for uncertainty though.

Yet Aragorn said that "Destroyed are all the weapons that strike that terrible king", and Frodo's sword broke when he tried to fight off the ringwraiths.

Because it was a Blade of Westernesse.

Reviews for "The wizard's guide to choosing the right sunscreen for your skin"

1. Jessica - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Magic Make Sunscreen. The product claims to provide full sun protection, but I still ended up getting a sunburn after using it. Additionally, the consistency was really thick and greasy, which made it difficult to apply and left my skin feeling sticky all day. I would not recommend this sunscreen to anyone looking for reliable protection and a comfortable application.

2. Eric - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Make Sunscreen, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The sunscreen left a white cast on my skin that was difficult to blend in, and it made me look like a ghost! Furthermore, it felt heavy on my face and clogged my pores, causing breakouts. I really wanted to love this product, but it just didn't work for me. I'll be switching back to my old sunscreen.

3. Alex - 2 stars - The Magic Make Sunscreen left my skin feeling oily and greasy. It took forever to fully absorb into my skin, and even then, it left a slick residue behind. I also found that it caused my makeup to slide off throughout the day. I appreciate the SPF protection it offers, but the texture and finish are major drawbacks for me. I won't be repurchasing this sunscreen in the future.

4. Sarah - 3 stars - While the Magic Make Sunscreen provided decent sun protection, I didn't appreciate the strong scent it had. It smelled very artificial and lingered on my skin for hours. Additionally, I noticed that it caused a slight stinging sensation when I applied it, which made me question the ingredients. Overall, it's an average sunscreen, but the scent and potential irritations were significant downsides for me. I'll be trying other options instead.

5. Matthew - 2 stars - The Magic Make Sunscreen left a white residue on my skin that was very noticeable, especially on my darker complexion. I tried blending it in, but it still gave me a grayish cast. It also made my skin feel dry and tight, which was uncomfortable throughout the day. I expected better from a sunscreen marketed as "magic," but I'll be looking for a different option that doesn't leave my skin looking ashy.
