Been days since I changed my skin and still can't see it.

I want to start a minecraft video series but as it appears, I can't see my own custom skin I made myself using one of minecraft's trusty skin making applications. I tried logging on and off and even reloading but I still see myself as steve or alex preventing me from making my own unique videos. The problem was clear to me when others were able to see my custom skin design but I wasn't. I checked if others had similar problems so I could resolve mine but there wasn't any. I hope this could get fixed so I could get to recording since it's been weeks, I only gave it time because I read it takes time for my skin to appear but it's been far too long since I last changed the skin. It's really a pain because I paid for the game I really like and wanted to make my own video series but this bug is the only thing preventing it.
