Hello and welcome, Tulik:
I am assuming you are using Photoshop.
One way to soften an image is to duplicate the layer, apply a slight gaussian blur to the duplicated layer, create a layer mask for that layer, CTRL + I (to invert the layer mask) and with white as the foreground color, airbrush the layer mask to "soften" areas of skin as desired by revealing the blurred pixels.
Hope this helps and makes sense.
