I have perfect skin, being single (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unmarried

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'single' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'i have perfect skin being' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'being' could be 'mr' (Mr is an example) and 'mr' is located in the leftover letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unmarried that I've seen before include "Not yet wed" , "Status of a bachelor" , "Single in terms of partnership" .)
