Earn it. Carry it.
Every hole is its own contest. Lowest score takes the skin. Tie it and nobody does — the skin carries into the next hole, and the one after that.

The carry.
One skin per hole
Lowest score on the hole takes it. Gross or net, depending on how your group plays.
Ties carry
Two players tied for low and the skin rolls forward. Three quiet holes and the 17th is worth four.
Someone takes the pile
Win a loaded hole and you take everything carried. The par three nobody could birdie decides the round.
4 skins carried.
The carryover is the whole game and the thing groups always lose track of. Still You shows what the next hole is worth before anyone tees off, and keeps the ledger of who took what.
Your table. Your rules.
Every one of these is a setting in Skins — set once for the group and reused every round.
Gross or net
Straight scores, or handicap-adjusted with the allowance you set.
Carryovers
Carry forward, split the skin, or void it on a tie.
Validation
Optional: win the next hole to validate a carried skin.
Skin value
Points or currency, flat or escalating on the back nine.
Eighteen small contests instead of one big one. The pressure arrives on the holes nobody expected.
Play Skins properly.
Beta groups get all six modes from day one. Four to a group — bring your regulars.
