Anyone experience with AK Interactive Skin Ink and how to use it?

So I bought AK Interactive Skin Ink and now I don't really know how or where to use it.
Is it supposed to be shadows for skin? Airbrush? Using it like a Wash?
It does not look like a basic skin tone.

You could always dilute it and use it as a wash but I’d experiment with it first due to the amount of pigment. I don’t often use it on skin as it’s quite reddish brown and that’s not how I paint my skin....usually. When I do I tend to save it for the darkest of recesses especially on the face. More often than not I mix it with something like Lahmian medium if I use it as a glaze. I have also diluted it with distilled water and used it to warm up the whole of the skin as more of a filter. You absolutely can airbrush it. I’ve used it as underpainting to act as shade for yellow armour....again, I diluted it a fair bit.

Thanks, that gives me some ideas.
In the meantime I just took the dive and tried it in combination with skin. I sprayed it from below in areas like recesses or ellbows and knees and it looked decent, though the general skintone was more on the brown/tan side, but I can see how it would be too dark for anything lighter or paler than that.
