Ok so your thinking about getting a two hour tan...not standing there for two hours but a 5 minute tan wash in two hours. These fast tans are great if your in a hurry, going out, dont like having a tan on all day, hate the feeling/smell of normal tans, however there are a few things to know about the fast tanning. These range from one hour to 3 hours. If your technician tells you that you can wash in one hour, make sure you do. Fast tan contains a higher percentage of DHA (the stuff that makes you brown) and higher DHA can sometimes lead to an un-natural looking tan. Most fast tans have higher DHA and carry a penetrator (chemical) in them to help develop the tan quickly. While some penetrators are better than others if your worried just stick with organic safe tanning. After your shower you may think your not that brown, wait another 10 hours before ringing your technician to tell them as the tan usually keeps on developing. Other tips on fast tanning:

FOUND this article while reseaching and thought it might be a help to some of your questions that your tanners may ask you as the technician. Below is some more Q&A on questions clients have asked. Click here for the original source of article. 
All you tanaholics here is a touch up pen for all those times you missed, got caught in rain or just need that touch up.
I get asked this questions a lot and here is some info that may be helpful. A 2007 study show that sun exposure in the 24 hours following the application of a self tanner containing DHA makes the skin more susceptible to free-radical damage. So to minimize this risk always wear sunscreen and use an antioxidant moisturiser. DHA does provide some UV protection, but not broad spectrum and it is short lived so you should always use a sunscreen if in the sun for long periods. Again this may be why clients say to me I dont seem to burn as much when I go in the sun. Best to cover up for the first 24 hours anyway as we all know what the nasty "free-radicals" can do and who can afford plastic surgery later on so before you go sunning yourself, think about it. But if you live in NZ dont worry coz we didn't have summer!
