If you have the Skype repo added to your system (If you installed it from the .deb package provided in the official Skype website, the repo is added automatically.), you may run 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install skypeforlinux

or simply run 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

to install all* available updates.
