6 Types of Smoke Detectors for Your Home

Working smoke detectors save lives. Here's what you need to know about these important safety devices. Look around your home. Do you see multiple smoke alarms? At a minimum, you should have one on every level of your house, one in every bedroom and one near all sleeping areas (even if that’s not a bedroom). Working smoke detectors (alarms) make the difference between life and death in a home fire. “Today’s home fires burn faster than ever,” according to Susan McKelvey, communications manager for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). “In a typical home fire, you may have as little as two minutes to escape safely from the time a smoke alarm sounds.” In the event of a fire, homes with working smoke alarms suffer fewer than than half the deaths as those without them, according to the NFPA. A note about terminology: You may hear, or use, “smoke detector” and “smoke alarm” interchangeably. Technically, smoke detectors only detect smoke, then send a signal to a building’s fire alarm system. The standalone units we have in our homes are smoke alarms, which detect smoke and sound an alarm, all in one device. McKelvey identifies two types of smoke alarms: ionization and photoelectric. They work on different types of fires, so the NFPA recommends buying alarms that combine these two technologies. First, I’ll explain how smoke alarms work, then take you through the different ways you can employ these life-saving devices.

The 4 Best Concealers For Women Over 40 With Fine Lines & Dark Circles—And 4 To Avoid At All Costs: Avoid Powder Concealers & More

Is there anything a good concealer can’t do? Actually, yes. Concealer isn’t a cure-all makeup product, and it should never be a replacement for color correctors or foundation, but when used properly, it can lighten dark circles and even help blur fine lines. But there’s a catch. Using concealer when you’re over 40 or 50 and are showing signs of aging around the eyes is a different ballgame than using one when you’re 20. Back in the day your biggest complaint may have been that you’ve chosen a too-light shade of concealer that doesn’t work with your skin tone. Or maybe your concealer didn’t match your skin type and resulted in dryness and patchiness. But now there are a few more concerns to consider, and a big one is: will your foundation look natural or will it seep into fine lines and intensify their appearance? The trick is to choose concealers that have hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or radiant finishes that won’t become dry. These concealers combine some of the benefits of skincare with the results you want from your makeup. If you’re in the market for a new concealer, here are four that work well on mature skin — and four we wouldn’t recommend.
