Question

May one immerse and make the usual preparations for immersion even during the half hour after lighting the Hanukkah candles?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

It is permitted to prepare as usual.

The custom concerning doing melacha applies to what is defined as “work,” and not to cleaning the body.
