How to light a candle?

When we buy an aroma candle, we want its aroma to delight us as long as possible, but it often happens that the candle starts to smell of smoke or burns out from the inside. There are simple rules you need to know that will help you enjoy the aroma of the scented candle until the wax runs out. So, here are our tips:

1. The scented candle should be kept lit NOT for 10-15 minutes, but until at least a small amount of the top layer melts. This is due to the uniformity of the burning of wax and wick. With prolonged burning for an hour or two, the wax melts over the entire width of the candle and a crater does not form around the wick, and after extinguishing, the wax also solidifies uniformly.

2. Light the spa candle and wait until the mixture you need for moisturizing melts. For hands - it is enough to use a few drops of oils, but for body massage you will need about 10-15 ml. A crater can form if you extinguish the candle too quickly, so you can rotate it to allow the fire to melt more of the mixture from the edge of the container.

3. You should not burn a candle for more than three hours: this way, the wax overheats, and the aromatic oils stop giving off their aroma. If you want to use the candle for a long time, then extinguish it every couple of hours for 5-10 minutes - this time is quite enough for the wax to cool down a little and harden.

4. No candles can be blown out under any circumstances. If you do this, then next time the smell of smoldering wick will be mixed with the aroma of the candle - and you will not get a pure aroma. The candle can, for example, be covered with a lid, and it will go out by itself in a few seconds without access to oxygen. If you cover the candle with nothing, it is better to use a special device for extinguishing the flame, which resembles a cap or a bell. The cap will also protect the surface of the wax from dust, and the candle will be like new for a long time.

5. The wick must be cut before each use - remove the burnt edge. Otherwise, the smoldering particles of wick will fall into the melted wax, and it will smell not of aroma composition, but of smoke. You can cut the wick with ordinary manicure scissors.
