Life needs a sense of ritual, and playing with scented candles is an important embodiment of the sense of ritual in life. Although in recent years, everyone knows that using scented candles is a good way to live, but when it comes to the use of scented candles-related tools, many people have not heard much, let alone know how to use them. Today, Greil has summarized some tips on aromatherapy tools, hoping that you can use scented candles for a longer period of time and safer!
From lighting and extinguishing to storage, the fragrance spreads from the occurrence to the space we are in, penetrating our body senses, all of which need to be completed with professional candle extinguishing tools. First, let's take a look at a few of the main tools to use.
Ignite the tool
Ignite matches
Cup candles are limited in ignition, and lighters tend to burn hands, so you can choose a long match or a fire-lighter. When lighting the fire, avoid placing the candle in a windward place to avoid the flame shaking and tilting, forming a wax dripping phenomenon and affecting the appearance. Igniters are recyclable and more environmentally friendly than matches.

Candle extinguishing hook
When extinguishing the candle, press the wick into the wax oil to avoid black smoke. After the fire is extinguished, hook out the wick to prevent the wick from solidifying in the wax liquid and affecting the next use. In addition, the candle extinguishing hook can also be used to adjust the uneven burning of the candle, the tilt of the wick, etc.
Candle extinguishing shears
Candle shears are very important, but they are often overlooked. It is recommended to trim the wick to 5mm-7mm before lighting the candle, the wick is too long, the candle is consumed quickly, and it is easy to produce black smoke. Candle extinguishing shears can easily carry away the remnants of burning, far better than ordinary scissors.
Candle extinguishing shade Extinguishing candle bells
The candle extinguisher's bell-like design can be placed directly above the wick to extinguish the candle by isolating the air and preventing the carbon black from falling into the wax liquid due to pressing the wick. To use, gently cover the flame for about 3-4 seconds until the candlelight disappears.
Glass cover
It can be used to extinguish the candle + prevent dust from entering, here Xiaoge recommends that you use a scented candle with a lid, which not only does not take up space but also can extinguish the candle and prevent dust, and the inner wall of the lid has an airtight rubber ring to better retain the fragrance.
Precautions for the use of scented candles:
1.Make sure to burn fully after ignition.
Burn the scented candle for 1-2 hours each time (depending on the size of the candle), and only extinguish it when the surface of the wax pool melts evenly. Extinguishing a candle too early can lead to uneven heating of the candle, which not only affects the aesthetics, but also creates a "memory circle".
2.Trim the wick regularly and don't overtrim it.
It is recommended that you try to keep the wick at 5mm to 7mm to maintain a good burning condition, but you don't have to over-trim the wick repeatedly, as the wick is too short and the flame is too small or cannot be ignited, which will also affect the experience.
3.Keep it safe and avoid waste.
It is recommended to close the lid after using the scented candle to prevent dust and at the same time play a role in retaining the fragrance of the candle. Scented candles are sensitive to light and temperature, and contact with sunlight can cause the candle to change color, so store it in a cool and dark place.
