How do you get Skin to look like Skin and not Plastic?

Is there an easy way to make the human characters have good looking skin without the use of difficult processes?
My skins always look kind of like plastic, i don't know why. And they have good textures . For example i bought characters from the DAZ Store and the promos look great, seem so realistic skin but when i render the same characters in 3d delight they look plastic skin.

Hello, use Iray render engine instead of 3Delight (which is older than Iray), and you get certainly a way more better renders :)
How is your lighting? Do other things in the scene look more natural than the skin?
If you are using 3Delight, make sure the surface setting is not set to plastic, the matte looks better.
Surfaces Tab toward the bottom. (Sorry at work right now)
Using Studio Lighting( a package here at the store) I'm getting much better, great renders of skin. About the not setting it to plastic(Surface settings), then what should i set it to? Setting it to skin or matte,,i don't see any difference
