Changing Your Skin in Minecraft Bedrock Edition
Minecraft Bedrock Edition gives you two primary options for skins: Classic Skins and Custom Characters. Here's how you can switch between these and upload your own custom skin.
How to Change Classic Skins
Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition on your device and navigate to the title screen.
Click on the Dressing Room option located underneath your character model. This is where you can edit and customize your Minecraft character.
To create a new character, click the + button or the Create Character button in an empty character slot.
Select the Classic Skin type.
If you have a skin that you would like to upload, click on the blank character icon under Owned Skins, then select Choose New Skin to upload your custom skin.
Choose the correct model for your skin: Alex or Steve.
The Alex skin model (on the left), and the Steve skin model (on the right), have different dimensions. Keep that in mind when designing custom skins or using a Minecraft skin editor!
