Skin Retouching Photoshop CS6

So this evening I practised skin retouching for the first time. I've done quick fixes before, but nothing this precise and detailed. I followed a YouTube tutorial and learnt some great hints.
The end result is probably a bit over-edited, but I'm happy for a first attempt.

Blending three different photos of wisteria over her face. Not completely satisfied with it, but it's all I can think to do for now. So this is the final product until I can work out how to improve it.

Fly Away

“The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”
