Skin is like a 'skin' for a human like model. Texture is like a wall thats been painting on and has bumps. o_O

um . . . right . . .

Texturing and skinning can both mean the same thing at times, but in some circles, a skin, or skinning is a technical reference to when you rig a model for animation (assign vertices upon a model to certain bones)
Texturing is always definitely referring to the application of color, shades, definition of shape, etc. upon a 2d plane that it will appear on a 3d model.

In this circle when people normally say skin they mean the texture map applied to a 3d model ( i.e : texture ) Just like some people here say poly when they really mean tri and so forth.
