✨🔥 SUMMER CANDLE CARE 101 🔥✨
Hey y’all! It’s your girl Keke Yvette and today we’re getting into something folks don’t always think about — how to properly care for your candles in the summertime ☀️🕯️💛
Listen, just like you wouldn’t leave your favorite lip gloss in the car during a heatwave 👄🔥, your candles deserve that same type of love and attention. Summer heat is no joke and if you want to get the most out of your luxury candle experience, I got you covered with 3 quick but essential summer candle tips:
🌡️ 1. Keep it Cool & Dry
High temps + direct sunlight = melted mess! 🫠
Store your candles in a cool, shaded area when they’re not in use. Extreme heat can cause the wax to sweat, the fragrance to fade, or even warp your wooden wicks. So no windowsills, dashboards, or hot porches, okayyy? Protect your vibe!
✂️ 2. Trim That Wick, Every Time
Summer heat can already cause candles to burn faster, so keeping your wick trimmed to 1/4 inch will help control the flame, reduce smoke, and keep your candle lasting longer 💨🔥. Use a wick trimmer or even a small pair of scissors — just don’t skip this step, boo!
🕯️ 3. First Burn = Memory Burn
Hot weather or not, your candle’s first burn is EVERYTHING. Let it burn until the wax melts all the way across the top (about 2-4 hours depending on size) to avoid tunneling. Your candle will remember how you treated her that first time, so treat her right 😏✨
Candles are a whole vibe, and with the right care, they’ll set the mood for all your summer nights — from backyard kickbacks to bubble baths and solo sips 🥂🌙💫.
