I have a cheap camera and often the skin looks textureless so I add some in.
Make an empty layer, paint on the face area with 50% grey, set layer mode to soft light.
double click the layr to get blending options, and click on the pattern overlay text to get the options and choose one of my skin patterns, scale to taste then choose the softlight blend option.
back in the layers pallete reduce the layer opacity.
Alternatively just click on the half black half white circle at bottom of layers pallete and choose pattern, then choose the pattern you want, then invert the layer mask and paint white on the skin area.
I often use both the patterns on differnt layers at different opacities.
so if you think you have skin that is too smooth and lifeless you could try this.
