Common Mistakes To Avoid When Using Candles

Common Mistakes To Avoid When Using Candles:

1. Burning for too short of a time. This can cause tunneling when the candle level is lower around the wick. 

2. Blowing out too quickly. This can create a hole in the middle of the candle.

3. Not trimming the wick. This can cause candles to go out repeatedly. Always cut wick to 1/4 of an inch for an even burn. 

4. Placing candles in drafty areas. This can cause candles to go out repeatedly.

5. Using low quality materials. This can cause candles to go out repeatedly. Use soy candles or coconut candles which are made of non toxic materials and are safe for the environment. 

We hope these tips are helpful for a safe candle burning and aromatherapy experience.
