I just use a light[s] and turn off diffuse leaving specular on.

Well, I think the problem is that I´m using a sunlight, and because of that I don´get highlights in the side of the sun, but in the other side it shows highlights, maybe if I only use standard lights?

yeah...that's the problem. You could try regular lights, see how it work out.

I´ve put a directional light and this is how it looks so far, do you think it looks like plastic?

Generally for skin, you want to use some kind of falloff map for diffuse and also a falloff for specular.

This is my skin test. NO SSS. I will try SSS soon. Jpeg with a file size of 20k is not good.
