Why paint them when you can take digital photes of real skin and then tweak them to fit your head template. If you plant ot paint them you need to have a color layer, a spec layer for where you want the skin to be shiny or non shiny, the same goes for diffuse and bump.

Pretty good tutorial here (http://www.3d-station.com/Tutoriaux/tutoriaux.php?id=13). The page is in French though. I ran it through Babelfish once a long time ago and it worked pretty well.
