I still want a skin and will use all your great suggestions and would love some guidance, but I need my brain to stop smoldering first.

One very kind person showed me about 10 different skins she had. I didn't really see a big difference except for skin tone and facial expression. She would point out that this skin is more/less this and that skin was more/less that. I didn't see this or that, really.
Ok, if they don't look much different to you, there are some.... things to consider. That she probably didn't show you.

The girly bits, ahem. Some have them, some don't. Some have pubic hair, some don't.

Also, think about whether you want to change your makeup a lot. If you do, go for something less expensive because you have to buy a new skin each time. If you don't, you can spend more knowing it's going to be a rare purchase, just get something you really like that will go with most of your clothing and your own look.
