How Many Skin Salt Packets Per Day?
Medically reviewed by Dr. Mark Rosenberg, MD Updated
Most people drink one or two sticks of Skin Salt a day. One is a great daily baseline. A second makes sense on active, hot or long days. You can go up to three, and the formula was designed with that in mind.
A quick guide
| Sticks a day | Good for | Sodium from Skin Salt |
|---|---|---|
| One | Everyday hydration and skin support | 500mg (22% Daily Value) |
| Two | Workouts, heat, long or busy days | 1,000mg (44% Daily Value) |
| Three | Big water days, like filling a 40oz tumbler | 1,500mg (66% Daily Value) |
One a day: your baseline
One stick a day gives your skin its daily dose of DermaVal, hyaluronic acid, ceramides and vitamin C, plus 750mg of electrolytes. Lots of people make it their morning ritual, a hydrating start for skin that dried out overnight.
Two a day: active or hot days
If you're working out, spending time in the heat, or just having a long day, a second stick helps you keep up. It's the most common routine among customers who've been drinking Skin Salt for a while.
“I am very active so I use two packs a day and that's the right amount of electrolytes for this lucky girl.”

Three a day: big water days
If you're filling up a 40oz tumbler or drinking a lot of water through the day, go ahead and double or triple your serving. Most people are under-hydrated, especially if they're active.
Why 500mg makes this easy
Sodium is the electrolyte that keeps an extra reserve of water in your body for when you need it. 500mg is the right amount for most people who are moderately active. Many other brands use 1,000mg, which suits CrossFitters and pro athletes but can be too much if you want to enjoy a few packs a day. At 500mg, you control your sodium: you can always mix in a second packet before a hot yoga class.
If you're keeping an eye on your sodium, the table above shows exactly what each stick adds to your day.
How much water per stick?
Anywhere from 12 to 40 ounces. Less water gives you a bolder flavor; more water gives you a lighter, more refreshing drink and more hydration.
Best time of day
There's no wrong time. Take it in the morning for a hydrating boost, mid-day for an energizing pick-me-up, or before bed, when your skin is in its overnight repair window. Skin Salt has zero caffeine, so it won't keep you up.
Does more mean faster results?
Consistency matters more than quantity. Most people see a glow boost after 30 days of daily use, and bigger improvements in smoothness, firmness and moisture after 60 to 90 days. A daily stick you actually stick with beats three on a good day and none the next.
