CANDLE CARE TIPS

There are a few tips to bear in mind when you use your Lola Lumina candles to help you enjoy your candle from the first burn, to the very last flicker of the flame.

1The first time you burn your candle, make sure you light it long enough for the entire surface to melt. This will ensure your candle has a nice, even burn. You should aim to have your candle lit for approximately 2 hours. We do not recommend lighting candles for more than 4 hours, as this can cause blackening on jars and a mushroom effect on the wicks.

2Make sure you burn your candle in a well-ventilated room and keep it away from any draughts. After each burn, use a candle snuffer or blow out your candle.

3Always burn your candle on a flat, even surface. Always recentre the wick.

4Once your candle has cooled you will want to trim the wick, ideally using a wick trimmer. You should always leave approximately 5mm of wick and just remove the excess soot head from the previous burn. Keeping the wick at the correct length will help your candle burn evenly, prevent it burning too fast and will increase its throw (how the candle scent fills a room).

5Always stop burning your candle when approximately 10mm of wax is left (then pick a new candle to try!) and never leave a lit candle unattended. Now sit back, relax and enjoy your gorgeous Lola Lumina candle.
