How do you glaze skin tones?

After reading numerious threads on glazing, I still don't understand how glazing is applied to figures within a painting. How did the "Old Masters" apply glazes to create skin tones? Did they layer colors like burnt umber, yellow ochre and cadmium red in succession? Or, do you glaze with burnt umber, let dry, then glaze with mixed skin tones? I've been having lots of trouble with skin tones, so any feedback is appreciated.
