I am confused about skin shaders and skin textures - please help

I don't understand how you guys texture human.If you use textures and then paint specular and bump maps,then you can use the skin shader right?

You either use a skin shader or paint textures right?

both. ssskin usually uses 3 different layers on how light scatters into the material. your texture would then go to the top layer, being the skin and leave the bottom layers alone or change some of the parameters in it, but not putting a texture on it. what application are you using? i mostly use 3ds max and the mental ray skin shader.
