Let it burn. For several hours, ideally. When you first light your candle, allow it to burn until the wax pool melts to the edges. Blowing it out too soon will keep the wax from forming a full and even pool during future use. Make the cut. Trim the candle’s wick before each use. Not only will this reduce any excess smoke, creating an even and clean burn, but it will lengthen the life of your candle as you’ll be able to keep the burn going until the very last drop. Avoid a hot mess. Always burn the candle atop a heat-safe surface and never let wick trimmings, dust or other debris to fall into the wax pool. Read the fine print. Check the bottom of your candle for further information, including when you should discontinue use.
