About scented candles, these 4 knowledge to know!!

Scented candles have gradually evolved into a synonym for “exquisite” in people’s lives, and scented candles give people a feeling of loving life and respecting life. But when people use scented candles, are you really using them correctly?

1. How to choose scented candles

Good products are completely pure green, pollution-free, pure quality plant wax and plant essential oil.

Common wax bases on the market are paraffin wax, plant wax, beeswax and so on.

Cheap scented candles are mostly used in paraffin wax, paraffin wax is a by-product of petroleum refining, the cost is relatively low, easy to produce black smoke, and poor quality wax burning will also produce harmful gases, affecting respiratory health, not recommended.

As long as it is plant wax, soybean wax, coconut wax, or animal wax beeswax, it is a pure natural and safe wax base, burning smokeless, healthy and environmental protection, and can be used for a long time.

The second is essential oil, which is also one of the most important reasons for the quality of scented candles.

2. Trim the candle wick every time

If you buy a large bottle of scented candles that can’t be used in one sitting, you need to trim the wick before each use. Leave a length of about 5-8 mm, if not trimmed, it is easy to burn again to produce black smoke, and the candle cup is also easy to be blackened.

3, how long each burn

The first burning is not less than one hour, wait until the candle surface is heated evenly to form a complete and uniform wax pool, and then extinguish the candle, otherwise it is easy to appear “wax pit”. Scented candles generally burn for no more than four hours.

4. How to extinguish a candle

Do not blow the candle out directly with your mouth, which will form black smoke. You can put it out with a candle holder or with the cover that comes with the scented candle. Special candle snippers are also available, which are excellent for trimming the wick and extinguishing the candle.
