The clone tool (or smear) can reduce or eliminate wrinkles.

Using the Blur (Smart Blur) is the skin cream of most photo editors.

I would select an area that you want smoothing with quite a large amout of feathering at the edges then use a Gaussian blur, like so:

Try the blur filter again but this time select ‘surface blur’ there is some room for adjustments that may work for you.

Professionally Airbrushing Skin in Photoshop.

•Duplicate the target layer

Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur
Radius 3.5

•Add a Layer Mask with Hide All Attribute
Layer>Layer Mask>Hide All
•A Black thumbnail will appear on the target layer in the Layers Palette
•Select a Soft Brush
•Set the foreground color to white
•Make sure the Layer Mask is selected by clicking on it in the Layers Palette
•Start brushing where you want to hide wrinkles or smooth the skin
•You can vary the opacity of the brush to get the exact effect you need.
•You can also play with the opacity of the layer

The trick here is that you have to add noise back in where you blur the skin. Otherwise it just looks fake.

The values of the filter parameters will vary according to the image you’re working with. These values are starting points for a snapshot sized portrait. They look radical when you’re doing them but remember, most of this effect will be covered when you apply the layer mask. You will be uncovering the effect when you paint the Layer Mask with white.

In my experience, it’s easy to overdo this effect. You get used to looking at the effect and you can’t tell when you’ve gone too far. Make your changes and then walk away from it for a while. When you come back in an hour or so, you’ll be better able to judge how it looks.

Also, when working on wrinkles and dark circles, I don’t take them all the way out, I just reduce them to a degree. I remove temporary blemishes and blotchiness completely. But permanent marks or moles I only reduce.
