At Renessence Studio, we believe that every candle is more than just a source of light—it’s an experience. Our hand-poured, artisanal candles are crafted with premium natural waxes and carefully curated fragrances to bring warmth and tranquility to your space. However, to fully enjoy your candle and make it last longer, proper care is essential. In this article, we’ll share expert tips on how to extend the life of your candle and keep it burning beautifully.
Tips to Extend the Life of Your Candle
1. Trim the Wick Before Each Use
Always trim the wick to about ¼ inch before lighting your candle. A shorter wick ensures a cleaner burn, reduces soot, and prevents the flame from becoming too large. This simple step can significantly extend the life of your candle.
2. Let the Wax Melt Fully on the First Burn
The first burn is crucial for your candle’s longevity. Allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface, reaching the edges of the container. This prevents "tunneling," where wax builds up on the sides and reduces the candle’s lifespan.
3. Avoid Drafts and Air Currents
Place your candle in a draft-free area to ensure an even burn. Drafts can cause the flame to flicker excessively, leading to uneven melting and wasted wax. A stable flame ensures your candle burns efficiently.
4. Burn for the Right Amount of Time
For optimal performance, burn your candle for 2–4 hours at a time. Burning it for too long can overheat the container, while burning it for too short a time may not allow the wax to melt evenly.
5. Store Your Candle Properly
When not in use, store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the fragrance and prevents the wax from softening or discoloring.
Taking care of your Renessence Studio candle not only extends its life but also enhances your overall experience. By following these simple tips, you can enjoy the soothing ambiance and captivating fragrances of your candle for much longer.
