Our PBR guide is indeed what I would suggest to anyone who desire to learn more about texturing in general. But to tell you a little bit more about Subsurface Scattering, this is basically a channel dedicated to simulate lighting passing through the material. The usual example is light through fingers.

The Subsurface Scattering is very useful for skins.
