Adjusting skin tones
In Photoshop, you can select a color range that targets skin tones so that it's easier
to adjust the levels and color tone of skin without affecting the entire image. The
skin tone color range selects other areas of the image with a similar color, but if
you're making slight adjustments, this is usually acceptable.

Choose Select > Color Range.

Select Detect Faces.
The preview in the selection changes. Now the face, hair highlights, and lighter
areas of the dress are selected.

Decrease the Fuzziness slider to
