1Hi. I don't think there is any significant skin retouching in that image to be honest. Maybe a little extra contrast/levels/curves tweaks to make it pop. As for the rest it's a photomanipulation. There are many techniques, using images from elsewhere, layer masking, etc.– Billy KerrFeb 24, 2022 at 23:39

Thank you. Im familiar with some of them. But for the most part. I thought maybe someone knew of a technique or tutorial to make those tweaks that make it "pop".– Karl RicoFeb 25, 2022 at 1:22

If you look for an easy solution you may be happy with the G'Mic Mighty Details filter:
