Scented Candle Use Tips
TIPS 01
The first burn must fully liquefy the surface.
The first time you burn a candle, it's crucial to determine whether a "memory ring" will appear! A "memory ring" refers to the wax around the edge of the candle cup not melting, which not only affects the appearance but also the lifespan of the candle!
Be sure to burn the candle for at least two hours the first time, allowing the surface wax to completely melt into a pool before extinguishing it. Otherwise, a "memory ring" will form when it cools and solidifies!

TIPS 02
How to Remove Memory Rings
In addition to the first burn mentioned above, some candles have a diameter that is too large, so the wax around the edge cannot melt, which can also cause "memory rings" to appear.
Novices can use aluminum foil to cover the cup mouth and cut 3-5cm diameter holes with scissors to achieve the same heat-gathering effect!
TIPS 03
Trim the wick before each use.
If the wick is too long, it will burn too far away from the candle's body, causing the wick to be empty and the flame to become larger, which can lead to the production of black smoke and affect the candle's scent. The candle wall will also be blackened.
Each time you burn a candle, the surface wax will gradually decrease, so it's important to pay attention to the length of the wick. You can trim the excessively long wick to about 0.5 cm before each use.
TIPS 04
How to extinguish a candle
There are several ways to extinguish a candle:
The best way is to use a snuffer,
If you don't have a snuffer, you can soak the wick in the pool of wax and extinguish it before pushing it back to the center to cool down.
You can also cover it directly with the lid of the ceramic cup, which will extinguish it.
The easiest way is to blow it out with your mouth, but it will produce a little smoke.
TIPS 05
Cover the candle with a lid
It's best to keep it in a dark place and store it at a temperature of no more than 27 degrees Celsius, as fragrance candles are very sensitive to light and temperature. If exposed to sunlight, the candle will discolor and melt!
When storing, it is also best to cover the lid, not only to prevent dust, but also to prevent the fragrance from dissipating.
The uneven heating caused by this can lead to the cup wall being unevenly heated.
