How should I store my candles?

Storing candles properly is essential to maintaining their quality and extending their lifespan. Zest Candle recommends keeping candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Prolonged exposure to light and heat can lead to fading of colors and alteration of scents, which are key elements of a candle's appeal. When storing candles, it is best to keep them upright to avoid any deformation. If you have multiple candles, consider storing them in their original containers or using a box to protect them from dust and potential damage. Additionally, avoid stacking candles on top of one another to prevent them from sticking together or becoming misshapen. For scented candles, it is advisable to maintain a consistent temperature in the storage area. Fluctuations in temperature can cause wax to expand and contract, resulting in imperfections. It is also recommended to keep candles away from strong fragrances, as they can affect the scent of your candles over time.
