Gentle reminders for getting the best from your well invested treats…
1. The first burn is the most important - especially if you are burning natural wax candles which have a much slower burn time. Always burn your candle for long enough to allow the melt pool to reach all the edges of the candle (usually around 2 hours on a medium candle).This avoids a ‘tunnel’ effect running down the centre of your candle.
2: S***f out rather than blowing out the candle, we just use the lid of the candle, but you can use a candle snuffer. This avoids smoke and keeps your wick as good as possible for the next burn.
3: love your wick. Natural wax doesn’t get as hot as synthetic wax, so you shouldn’t get too big a wick or a lot of smoke, however if it naturally petals out, which is normal, you extend it life by gently removing these blooms that form at the top of the wick.
4: Avoid placing your candle in a draughty area, this causes a larger flame that will mean your candle burns faster.
5: re-use your jar! Place the glass in the freezer for 20 minutes allowing the wax to shrink so you can easily remove any left over wax from the jar. Wash out and reuse for plants, pens, making your own candle or beauty cream, spice jar or to make your own vinegrette.
6: You can even spray our Sleep Tight mist on your dressing gown or pjs in prep for that relaxing and deep slumber
Happy treating! 😘
