How to make your candle last longer

✨First burn is the most important! How to avoid tunneling:

The first time you burn your candle make sure to wait at least 3-4 hours until the wax pool liquefies to the edge of your glass. 

Once the wax pool is completely melted on the top, then you can blow out your candle.

If a candle is not burned for long enough to allow the wax to melt from edge to edge of the container, it will create a “memory ring” 

Once a candle has a “memory ring,” it will continue to tunnel for the life of the candle.

​

✨ Make sure your wick is always trimmed to between 0.5 and 1 cm. If the wick becomes longer during the burning process, trim it – for a cleaner, brighter burn. Use a wick trimmer.
✨ Burn your candle for 4 hours at a time. No longer! Otherwise, the wick becomes unstable, flames get too large, and soot is released into the air.

✨ Dip your wick with a snuffer instead of blowing out a candle. Without oxygen, the candle will go out. The flame will be extinguished without the hassle of smoke and rogue candle debris.
