How do you use drivers to hide an object or mesh? instead of going into the outliner I would like to use the properties tab to change meshes.
I've tried to look for some tutorials but most of them are on shape keys.

For example; skin 1 is hidden and skin 2 is un-hidden when the value in the custom properties tab is changed.
Press Right mouse button over eye icon (or camera icon if you want to hide object in render) in outliner, chose Drivers > single from target.
mouse cursor will change to dropper, click on custom prop. 
That is all!
