using common techiques but i hope its still a good suggestion for you
to make your portrait have soft, warm, vibrant and glamour look.
The final result:

1. Duplicate your pic. Use your method to soften or sharpen it. Here i
use Blur tool.
2. Create a new layer, choose soft brush, color code is fce2f0 to
paint gently on the darker area of her cheeks ( set this layer to soft light 100%)
3. Create a new channel mixer layer.

5. New Brightness/contrast layer with parameters 4/8 and use soft
brush on layer mask to eraser all dark or bright areas on the pic.
6. Create a new layer, change the mode to Color 30%, use soft brush
with fdc5a6 to paint on the chin and forehead , color f8c894 to paint on the rest
of her skin to remove green areas and make a lively look.

Some tips if you want to follow this tutorial:
- Apply values depending on your pic tone and you can use Hue/saturation
as an extra step.
- To fix wrong color skin areas: create a new layer and use soft brush
with the tone near to this color , set to Soft light ( if used on dark
areas) or Multipy ( if on bright areas), change opacity till you feel
ok.
