Massage Candle Care & Usage Guide: How to Use, Enjoy & Store Your Scentemy Massage Candle
Learn how to safely use your Scentemy Massage Candle for both aromatherapy and skin massage, how to maximise burn performance, and how to store it correctly for the best scent and skin experience.
How to Use a Massage Candle Safely
Scentemy Massage Candles are formulated as a spa-grade melt-to-oil candle, designed for both aromatherapy and direct skin contact.
Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, and direct sunlight.
- Trim the wick to approximately 5 mm before each burn
- Never burn for longer than 3 hours at a time
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
How to Use as a Massage Oil
Once lit, the candle melts into a warm, skin-safe oil blend enriched with nourishing butters and cosmetic-grade oils.
- Light the candle and allow a small pool of oil to form on the surface
- Extinguish the flame and wait a few seconds
- Carefully pour a small amount of warm oil into your hands or directly onto the skin
- Massage using slow, even movements
- Re-apply as needed during the session
The melted oil warms naturally to approximately 38°C–42°C, providing a soothing temperature without overheating the skin.
Scentemy Tip: The oil absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy, making it ideal for relaxation, massage rituals, and intimate self-care moments.
How to Use as an Aromatherapy Candle
Your Scentemy Massage Candle doubles as a premium aromatherapy candle, gently scenting the room while creating a calming atmosphere.
- Trim wick to ±5 mm before lighting
- Allow the wax to melt fully to the edges on the first burn
- For larger sizes, light all wicks at the same time for an even melt pool
- Extinguish using a snuffer or gentle breath — avoid splashing wax
This ensures an even burn, prevents tunnelling, and supports consistent fragrance release.
Storage & Handling
Proper storage preserves fragrance integrity and wax performance.
- Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Keep lid closed when not in use (if applicable)
- Avoid leaving candles in vehicles or extreme heat
- Ensure wick remains centred and trimmed between uses
Correct storage helps maintain scent quality and burn performance, especially in warmer climates.
Caution & Safety
For external use only. Do not ingest. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately if contact occurs.
Keep away from children, pets, and flammable surfaces. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Do not burn for longer than three hours at a time.
Only use massage candles specifically formulated for skin — never use standard candle wax or fragrance oils on the body.
