Why is my minecraft skin is not showing up? [duplicate]

Just like a normal Minecraft player, I go onto servers and play with friends.
But wait. When I join, my skin does not show up.

I am on a 1.8 server and nobody can see my skins. Please help someone.

I'm not going to bother writing a new answer for this:
I literally copy-pasted my answer from here

(With the exception of the strike-through on reasons that does not apply for this version of MC; 1.8)

Here are eight possible reasons why your skin isn't showing:

1. Your skin has not refreshed yet.
2. You never had a skin prior to the UUID update, which changes the way skins are stored (If you're playing any versions prior to 1.7)
3. You're not using a legal version of Minecraft, and therefore - Your skin isn't registered to your account.
4. The server you're playing on has online-mode=false. (Set to offline mode; no authentication)
5. You changed your char.png file within the minecraft.jar and not uploaded it to your minecraft profile.
6. You've uploaded it to your profile, but it's the WRONG dimensions (bigger than 64x64 pixels)
7. You're playing in offline mode.
8. None of you have an internet connection.

For #1, you'll just have to wait.
For #2, there's nothing you can do.
For #3, buy the game!
For #4, you should consider playing on servers that only allow 'premium'/paid users.
For #5, you should probabally log into .
For #6, you'll have to scale it down. Sorry :/ Unless you get the HD skins mod.
For #7, go online!!! (Same goes for your brothers)
For #8, you'll need to be connected to the internet in order to retrieve skins.
