It takes practice. One rule that helps is to try and collapse all the retouching to a single layer (or make a group) and then reduce the opacity to 50% or less. It is tough deciding on the balance. I cringe when I look at some of the early retouching work I did because the skin looks like plastic!

Thank you for the advice I will definitely try it :)
