If you are doing it through the UV unwrap your problem is that you never applied it to the skin. I assume you got the texture to appear in the UV edit window, what you said sounds like you did, so I'm going to start from there.
In the upper right corner of the Edit UVW window there is the drop down box where you selected the texture, go back to that and click pick texture. Now a box comes up that you used to pick the texture before, on the left side in the list of radio buttons there is one that says Applied, choose that. Now you select the texture from the list that you a using on the object you currently have selected, at the top of this window there is an area that displays the Map # and the texure name. To the right of that there is a button that has a sphere with an arrow going to a plane on it, Click this. That button appies it to the mesh. Then click OK.
Hope that helps
