Victoria Hargrave, founder of Beau Bronzage and owner of The Tanning Room, has unveiled Prep & Prolong, a natural body wash created to help preserve tanning results while supporting skin health. The new product officially launches on Friday 12th December and will be stocked across all Tanning Room locations, signalling the next phase of growth for the Beau Bronzage brand.
