The aptly named Woodwick spa candle emits luscious scent and crackles like a fireplace owing to a wick made of wood instead of string. Spa candles help you set the mood for an at-home spa haven that combines gorgeous fragrances with the auditory pleasure of a crackling wood sound. Woodwick candles have other great features in addition to wood wicks, and there are recommended ways to get the most out of your candle.
How to Create a Stellar At-Home Spa Treat
The Fragnated Woodwick lavender spa candle is particularly popular for its inherently calming effects. Lavender is a centuries-old remedy believed to promote relaxation and mental well being. In a candle form, it fills your bathroom or yoga studio with lavender’s unmistakable, gentle perfume, soothing everyone who inhales.
To maximize your Woodwick lavender spa candle over the course of its life, try to observe the following suggestions. They’re not hard and fast rules, but they’re worth bearing in mind.
To allow for an even burn, light the entire wick, especially when lighting it for the first time. Prior to each re-lighting, trim the wick to 1/8 inch and dispose of the wick trimmings. Set the candle on a burn-free surface, away from vents or drafts.
More Tips to Get the Most From Your Woodwick Candle
Woodwick candles are a combination of soy and parafin, so they tend to burn clean, fast and bright. To encourage more even melting and a cleaner burn, let the candle cool completely between each re-lighting. At each session, burn the candle for at least three to four hours, giving the melted wax sufficient time to contact the edges of the candle container.
Although the Woodwick lavender spa candle remains a perennial favorite, seasonal varieties like Fireside, Cinnamon Chai and Smoked Jasmine are equally fragrant and just as relaxing when burned in your home sanctuary. Combine with reed diffusers for the ultimate in DIY aromatherapy.
