Default DDS quality
Every time I save skintone, or any other DDs texture file and reopen the skin file its quality has gone worse. How can I just save the skin without ruining it's quality? when ever I open other creators skin files their skins dds files looks nice and smooth, I'd love to get help Thanks in advance.

You should save with no compression to preserve full quality, at least while you're working with the skin. Then if you're going to upload it, you should save the final version with DXT5 compression.

I'd actually suggest saving working versions as PSD (or whatever your graphics program's native format is), as that's absolutely guaranteed to avoid loss of quality - and it means you keep all your layers, filters, masks and so on.
What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.
