There are many tutorials on creating a SmoothSkin effect. They are all based on the same rule: separate the details like eyes, mouth and teeth from the rest of the image, and then apply different filters to smooth the skin out while keeping all the details sharp.
Here’s my way of achieving this effect. It doesn’t require any painting or selection drawing. It’s fully automated. However it may require a bit of tuning up after applying the effect to restore some details that might have been treated as a regular skin.
As a reference – here are other tutorials on this subject that I’ve found on the net.

Hi,
Would it be possible to check this tutorial because it stops all the time at about one third of length?
Thanks for all that you give

Wow! I spent months working for a client touching up models and such, and it was all done the hard way. Now I come across this and man, I gotta say this is so much easier and quick! I’m very grateful and this tutorial is awesome so is others. Keep up the good work.
