There are some different between the Human model and the real measurment. When I measure myself, I find the resistance is in M-ohm order (hand to hand).
That depends on how dry is your skin .. dry skin measurement ≠ body resistance ..

for some additional hints ..

human skin is very unliniar depend of voltage and time under voltage
Low voltage as measure with Ohm-meter give very high Ohm value, but >50 Volt possible give a Hazard current (>20 mA) and resistans low as 2.5 kOhm depends of chloride Ione build in skin (elecrolyze) and make easier conduct for current...
High voltage discharge value is very differ compare to low voltage discharger value.
For RF-frequency you have other models differ from above and depend of frequencys.
capacitive is depend of electrostatic field between body and enviroment. Unless not using voltage depend capacitance in shoes etc., i think body capacitanse is voltage independ and constant.
Skin resistanse is important factor to make discharge model for caclulate ESD-damage
ie capacitans holds enegy and skin resistanse make how fast this discharge.
10 - 15 kV storing static charge in body breaks easy high resistance barriere in skin and make low resistance path in skin and result high current discharge pulse on target
(break down in skin have simular mechanism as High voltage discharge on circurit boards make small, small carbon trace on boards surface or inside board mass and can newer witdstand same high voltage again and in most case must replace with new equipment)
