How to Burn a Wood Wick Candle: A Guide by Me Time Moments


Welcome to Me Time Moments, where we believe in the power of self-care and relaxation. One of our favorite ways to unwind and create a tranquil atmosphere is by burning wood wick candles. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to burn a wood wick candle properly for a soothing experience. Let's dive in!






Step 1: Choose the Perfect Setting Before you light your wood wick candle, select a cozy and safe space where you can enjoy it. Make sure there are no drafts, and place the candle on a heat-resistant surface.


Step 2: Trim the Wick Trim the wood wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting it. This ensures a clean and even burn, preventing excessive smoke and soot.


Step 3: Light it Up Use a long lighter or a matchstick to ignite the wood wick. Hold the flame to the wick until it catches fire. The crackling sound of the wood wick adds to the ambiance.


Step 4: Enjoy the Candle's Glow Allow the candle to burn until the wax melts evenly across the surface, creating a pool of wax. This


may take a few hours, depending on the size of your candle. It's essential to let the candle burn long enough to avoid tunneling.


Step 5: Extinguish Safely When you're ready to extinguish your wood wick candle, use a snuffer or gently blow on it to put out the flame. This prevents the wick from smoking and reduces soot.


Enjoy the soothing and crackling experience of burning wood wick candles from Me Time Moments. Follow these steps, and you'll create a serene atmosphere that's perfect for self-care and relaxation. Shop our exquisite collection of candles to enhance your "me time" moments today!
