What are Skins in the Elder Scrolls Online?
Skins are collectible items which are replacing your skin texture.
They are purely cosmetic and don`t have any impact on your Characters strength.
Some skins are looking a bit different on older characters and others allow that you still can see other body markings of your character.
If you use a Polymorph your Skin will be overwritten and not visible.
How can you use Skins in the the Elder Scrolls Online?
