you see, you don't know what you're talking about.  Why do you think the
Torrence-Sparrow BRDF model will help you getting away from the plastic look?

What you really need is a BSSRDF (subsurface scattering).  Look here for the
comparison:

from the man himself, Henrik Wann Jensen, the father of photon mapping and
subsurface scattering models...
