Photoshop Restoration and Retouching by Katrin Eismann has all the info you will need.

Skin: The Complete Guide to Digitally Lighting, Photographing, and Retouching Faces and Bodies by Lee Varis has some good techniques and really helped me understand color balance for skin using curves.

Retouch pro is a pretty amazing learning tool and if you search around enough you will read about methods of doing things that the above books will help you out with.

DIGITAL RESTORATION FROM START to FINISH by Ctein from Focal Press. While this book is geared towards photo restoration it has many good techniques the might be helpful in retouching.
