A little care makes every candle experience better. Follow these simple tips to help your Belora candle burn more evenly, last longer, and fill your space beautifully.
Each Belora candle is created to bring a specific mood into your space — fresh, calming, floral, cozy, or grounding.
To enjoy your candle properly, it is important to burn it with care. The way you light, trim, extinguish, and store your candle can affect how evenly it burns and how long it lasts.
Use this guide before lighting your candle for the first time.
The first burn is one of the most important steps in candle care.
When you light your Belora candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface before blowing it out. This helps prevent tunneling, where the candle burns down the centre and leaves unused wax around the sides.
Before lighting your candle again, gently trim the wick to keep the flame controlled and steady.
A wick that is too long can create a larger flame, uneven burning, smoke, or black marks around the candle jar. A trimmed wick helps the candle burn more cleanly and evenly.
Candles are best enjoyed slowly and safely. Avoid burning your candle for very long periods at once, as this can cause the jar to become too hot and may affect the quality of the burn.
For the best experience, enjoy your candle for a few hours at a time, then allow it to cool before relighting.
Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting it. Keep it away from curtains, papers, fabrics, shelves, or anything that can catch fire.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and always keep candles away from children and pets.
When you are finished using your candle, blow it out gently or use a candle snuffer if you have one.
Avoid blowing too strongly, as this may disturb the wax or create smoke. Let the wax settle and cool before placing the lid back on or moving the candle.
For a better candle experience, keep the wax surface free from dust, wick trimmings, matches, or any other debris.
A clean wax pool helps your candle burn more evenly and keeps the fragrance experience pleasant.
When your candle is not in use, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
This helps protect the candle’s appearance and fragrance quality over time.
For safety, stop using your candle when only a small amount of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.
Burning a candle too close to the base can cause the container to overheat.
Let the first burn melt evenly across the top.
Trim the wick before each use.
