Hug the candle
Candle hugging is a candle care technique suitable for beeswax pillar candles.
Its aim is to encourage the flame to consume all the wax available, without leaving a tall mantle around the wick. By using this technique, you will make sure that you make the most of your beeswax candle. It will burn more evenly, and you will prevent the wax leaking out.
Once you blow the candle out, gently push the tall wax walls towards the middle
(towards the wick).
By doing this every time, you’ll make sure all of your candle wax gets consumed.
Depending on the type of candle you are burning, you may have to trim the wick periodically.
