Well, if you color in photoshop get a pallet of skin colors going that work for you - and if you can't get the colors on your own to begin with, try just eyedropping from pictures where you like the skin color - to steal.

Well, with photoshop, its mostly a trial and error thing. Though try setting your colors to a light mix of yellow and orange and work from there.

In Photoshop, I've found that using some sort of peachy tone is my most surefire bet for skin. Take it to the spot sort of between red and orange, not true orange but not pink either- the top part- and fiddle around to see what looks good. I know I've seen some effective use of browner tones as well, but those are trickier to play with.
