This is the node arrangement for AO. Note the highlighted color chip on the Diffuse node; that controls the color of the shadows.i used the odf shader here over a pale pinkish skin i've been working on. to me it's still a bit flat, needs some glossiness or more sss or something, haven't figured it out yet. but i love the extra details it adds & they really show up over the paler texture.
i find the default skin to be a bit too orangey for my liking without some tweaking.
oh, and check out the manual for a good explanation of how to use the Assign tab in the material room. one of P13's greatest features.

Be very careful when applying to the face/head; the eyebrows need to be hidden, otherwise they will pick up unintended shadows.
