We heard it straight from candle experts
Lighting a candle is the perfect way to create a calming environment.
It offers a warm, cozy glow and makes your home smell amazing.
Not only is it an eyesore, but it can also reduce your burn time.

Why Is My Candle Tunneling?
According toKristen Pumphrey, founder and creative director of P.F.
This method works especially well if the wick is drowning in the wax.

Unlike the aluminum foil hack, this method solves the tunneling issue immediately.
However, since hair dryers dont get too hot, this method might take some time to work.
By allowing candles to burn long enough, you give the candle wax enough time to burn evenly.

In some cases, overheating can cause the candle glass to weaken and possibly crack.
Regularly Trim the Wick
Wick care is a must if you want to prevent candle tunneling.
Lawrence recommends trimming wicks to 14-inch before each burn.
