COLOR IMPERFECTIONS Note the unfortunate skin blotches on this otherwise cute little baby. This image comes from a thread where a genuine whiz-bang LAB technique was discussed, and which is certainly relevant to any discussion of skin imperfections, particularly color problems. That thread is here. I highly suggest acquiring facility working in LAB, in general. As this thread shows, some valuable tools are available that you won't find in other spaces. However, this is about retouching and there's no point rehashing LAB discussions that have been dealt with in far greater depth elsewhere.
