In a quiet night, or need to create a romantic atmosphere, candles are one of the essential decorations. Unlike traditional candles, scented candles can not only provide a beating flame, but also fill the room with a refreshing fragrance, which makes the people in it feel warm. People can also relieve the tension and busyness after work through this charming and comfortable fragrance. They can be placed in any ideal place such as office, residence and bathroom.

Scented candles are very beneficial to human health. When the aroma diffuses in the room, the effects are shown on the body:

First, the fragrance enters the respiratory tract. Because the mucous membrane in the nasal cavity is acidic, it can effectively absorb substances. After entering the lungs from the respiratory tract, it is transported from the blood vessels to the whole body by means of alveolar oxygen transport. At the same time, the fragrance directly enters the brain central system from the olfactory receiver to promote the brain to secrete hormones. Different tastes can promote the brain to secrete different hormones. The hormones themselves are composed of many chemical components, which are transmitted to the cells of various parts of the body to achieve the therapeutic effect.

Scented candles have the above effects, which is inseparable from its unique material. The main material of scented candles is soy wax. Compared with most candles that are made of paraffin, which emits black smoke and chemicals after being ignited, soy candles are cleaner and burn longer. What's more, the wicks of scented candles are all dense pure cotton wicks, which are odorless, smokeless and colorless when burning. All these pure and non-polluting materials make scented candles beneficial to the human body instead of harming the human body.

How to use scented candles

Here are some steps to help you better use scented candles:

1. Please don't use a lighter to light scented candles. This is mainly for safety, especially when the wax oil burns to a certain degree. So please use a long-handled match which is beautiful and does not cause burns.

2. For the first time, please burn the new candle for an hour to ensure the smooth surface.

3. It is recommended to burn for 1-2 hours each time so that the aroma can still be emitted for a long time after the fire is extinguished. Please do not light a scented candle for a long time, especially in a closed space, which consumes more oxygen.

4. Do not blow out the scented candle directly. Firstly, the liquid wax oil is very likely to splash out and injure people. Secondly, the wax oil is easy to mix with saliva. So, please use a professional candle extinguisher. Of course, there are core pickers and so on, that is, push the candle wick into the wax liquid to extinguish and then correct it. If you don’t want to spend money, you can use a toothpick or a short wire to push down the candle wick to make the wax liquid extinguish the flame, and then straighten the wick.

5. If possible, try trimming the scented candle wick using scissors. Because the wick is too long, the candle will not burn completely and produce black smoke—it is not a scented candle. Generally, trim off the excess black part and light it again. 

6. After the scented candle is extinguished, you can use tools, such as cotton swabs, to draw the unburned wax around to the center, so that you can burn it a few more times.

Pay attention to the above points and you will have a pleasant experience when using scented candles.
