Airbrushing of a model's skin has been a very common practice in the photo editing industry for some time. This short tutorial will teach you how to airbrush skin in a few easy steps.
Step 1: Import an image that you wish to edit.
Step 2: Select the polygonal lasso tool and trace an outline around the area the face.

Step 8: Set the radius of the blur to 15 pixels.
 |
| Applying The Gaussian Blur |
Step 9: Press the eye symbol again so that the first layer is now visible. The layer with the Gaussian Blur is on top of the original image so the skin on the face will now appear smoother due to the blur that was applied.
