Step 1
Open a new file, in this case, I used 940x 1200 pixels, since the image is just a portrait, that resolution is great.
Step 2
Let’s select the model’s skin with the lasso tool. Don’t worry about being perfect cause then you can use the eraser in the edges of the image.

After the selection is made you have to press CTRL + J to duplicate the skin. So then you are gonna have a new layer like this:
Step 4
Then you have to apply a surface blur filter, to make the skin softer. For this you have to go to Filter -> Blur -> surface blur-> and then add 8 for radius and for threshold.

Then desatured the skin’s layer a little bit like -30%. Press CTRL + U to see the menu.
