Beside the flame the heat you experience is that heat being radiated as light - if you hold your finger too close or leave it too long, you will get harmed! Beside the flame the air is cool as cool air is being sucked into the flame.
However above the flame the hot gases produced by the combustion of the wax in the flame are rising upward by convection. These hot gasses will heat you skin by conduction and you will be burned very quickly.
