How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter your body weight in pounds and select your skin type (dry, normal, oily, or combination).
  2. Select your climate (humid, temperate, dry/arid, or cold/windy) and daily activity level.
  3. Input your daily caffeine servings (cups of coffee/tea) and alcohol servings, since both increase water needs.
  4. Review your recommended Daily Water Intake (in ounces and liters), Glasses per Day, and Recommended Humectant.
  5. Check the Moisturizer Applications and Skin Barrier Score, then adjust your water, caffeine, or alcohol intake to improve your barrier score.
