This one is OK: http://tutorialpulse.com/49/superb-skin-airbrush-technique/
There are several methods. You may also want to try a new layer from background layer, Select > Color Range, pull the skin of into its own layer, apply a gaussian blur, load and invert the selection, expand about the same amount as the blur (4-6 pixels perhaps) and do a Cut to choke of the edges of the blur.
I like to go into the gaussian layer with a narrow, medium-soft brush using the eraser tool and erase out some of that blurred layer along the edges of the nose, eyelids, lip, ears, etc., and do a fade on each stroke. Otherwise, like this example, it looks too fake. Unless fake is what you want, it seems to be real popular.
