Can somebody tell me how to use gaussian blur on skin tones to make them look spectacular? I have seen some great photos that use it, but when I try it, my photos look nothing like theirs.
What settings are standard?

You can also run a bit of eraser (with low opacity) on the subject to remove the blur on that area.
