Theres no easy way to texture, you just have to uv map it manually...

You can do it however you want. The better it looks, though, the better your chances. user added image

for now, since your just starting out learning how to texture..and in the interest of time for the challenge..i suggest just doing an automatic uv layout...its not the best way, but for skin it will do the trick...
