May I just give you an advice based on my personal experience?
1. Healing brush works nice to clean some skin defects.
2. As healing tool uses some space around actual brush size, avoid using
it near edges of some contrast parts. e.g. close to lips.
3. If some parts of a skin are overburnt, there can be 2 techniques:
using healing brush from the edge of the normal (not over lighten)
skin and moving inside burnt areas
or using clone tool to fill saturated color area with normal skin
and then using healing brush to "flatten" the result.
