You may extend the life of your candle by taking certain steps, especially if it’s created with organic waxes or aroma oils. Keep it out of direct sunlight is one of the best things you can do. Because UV radiation degrades things over time, colors fade and scents vanish, this is the case.
You’ve probably observed that things left outside or near a window fade with time, and this is the same concept at work. Once you’ve done burning your candles, transfer them to a more shaded location if they’re in the sunlight.
It’s also a good idea to keep your candles in an airtight container to preserve the organic . Some candles come with a container and a cover, which you can simply replace when you’ve finished burning them. If your candles don’t come with a container or a cover, consider purchasing an airtight plastic box to store them in when not in use.
If you choose an opaque box, the candles will be protected from the sun and you may leave it out. If you buy a transparent one, you’ll need to find a dark place to keep it.
Who’d have guessed there was so much to learn about candles? I’m officially shaken! This was the blog I didn’t realize I needed until it was too late!
