That's very normal. Skimmer will keep on going crazy until you do some major water change. Running carbon actively can help too.

A trick that I found worked pretty well for me. I used to run the skimmer and kept on collecting the overflowed water using the drain pipe of the skimmer until it stopped overflowing and replaced the same about of water with brand new saltwater. Time consuming but worked within a 10% WC.
