How to Use a Massage Candle: Spritz Please Step-by-Step

Quick answer

Light the candle, let a shallow pool of oil melt, blow it out, and test the oil on your wrist before pouring it into your palm. Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before every use and never leave the flame unattended.

Spritz Please massage candle instructions

1. Trim the wick: Before lighting, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) with a wick trimmer or small scissors. This keeps the flame low and steady so the oil melts evenly. A long or crooked wick is the most common cause of a too-hot melt pool.
2. Light and let a shallow pool form: Light the candle and let it burn for 10–15 minutes, or until a thin layer of oil melts across the surface. Don’t wait for the entire candle to liquefy. A shallow pool is easier to control and less likely to overheat.
3. Blow out the flame before pouring: Extinguish the candle and wait a few seconds for the oil to settle. Never pour while the candle is still lit. This is the step people skip most often—make it a habit.
4. Test the oil temperature: Drizzle a drop of oil on your inner wrist. If it feels comfortably warm, it’s ready. If it’s hot, let it cool for 30 seconds and test again. Your wrist is more sensitive than your hands, so it’s a reliable gauge.
5. Pour into your palm and massage: Pour a small amount into your cupped palm, rub your hands together, and apply to the skin with gentle pressure. Reheat the candle if you need more oil. Pouring into your hand rather than directly on the body gives you control over the temperature.
6. Extinguish and store safely: After use, replace the lid once the candle is completely cool. Keep it away from drafts and never leave a burning candle unattended. Proper wick care and storage keep the next melt clean and even.
