The description of Disguise skill makes it clear that the +4 for Elastic Skin does apply to all Disguise rolls. I think this is because the advantage is "superb equipment" for any kind of disguise.

IF Elastic Skin has the Biological power modifier, it might well have Takes Extra Time. Iain M Banks' novel Consider Phlebas has a character with this combination, with good examples of when it works well, and when it doesn't.
