Make a duplicate layer (ctrl J), use either clone or healing brush in both lighten and darken modes to smooth out the light and dark parts (also good for bags under eyes) then apply gaussian blur, a little heavy, (view at 100%) use the history brush to apply the blur to just the skin (not eyes or lips) then adjust the opacity of the level to where it looks natural. I usually bring the opacity down till it just stops looking blurred then drop another 5%. If you run into problems e-mail me a copy large enough to print and I'll be glad to give it a try.
