Hey! I just worked on that exact same picture for someone else in another thread!

You guys must know each other...

The other thread asking for help with this image is HERE

I used the term friend pretty loosely. We hooked up in a photoshop NG.

BTW, nice job on the pic!

Cheers,

hello.
have you tried it to make a selection of the flesh tones and convert image to LAB mode.
by increase L value in midtone, and for pinning A and B channel in midtone while playing around with 1/4 tone value should give you the result.

good luck. and have the patience. i am for using photoshop since 1992 and am having the questions also, but am also happy to giving the help sometimes.
