How Long Should You Burn Bath and Body Works Candles?
To avoid tunneling and get an even burn, let your 3-wick candle pool completely on the first burn—usually around 2–3 hours. This tip applies to all scented candles, including those from our handmade candle collection.
Should You Trim the Wick?
Absolutely! Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn. This helps reduce soot and gives a cleaner flame—especially important for eco-friendly candles like Karessa’s soy wax products.
How Do You Store Candles Properly?
Store your candles in a cool, dry place with the lid on. It maintains fragrance integrity and keeps dust out—particularly for your candle jars or seasonal gift hampers.
Can You Reuse the Candle Jar?
Yes! After the candle is done, clean the jar and reuse it for decor or storage. Or simply opt for home décor candles with elegant jars that are designed to be repurposed.
How Do You Enhance the Scent?
Place your candle in smaller rooms to maximize fragrance or pair it with aromatherapy candles for a wellness effect. Karessa’s scent range uses essential oils for a stronger and longer-lasting impact.
Why Consider Alternatives to Bath & Body Works?
If you’re sensitive to synthetic fragrance or paraffin wax, switch to luxury candles made from natural soy wax. They’re cleaner, longer-lasting, and better for indoor air quality.
Final Thoughts
Bath and Body Works candles are loved for their scent throw, but with the right care—and some mindful alternatives—you can enjoy safer, longer, and more sustainable burns. Explore Karessa’s handmade soy candles for a luxurious experience that aligns with conscious living.
