I really would recommend just being patient with the Dodge/Burn. I like the Curves method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CsyS2Gd9lY Some people like the 50% Gray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ftpsP4UZHQ As a last resort, you can go very small with the Healing Brush Tool in FS on High. Just, you know, in moderation.

Sorry if it seemed like I was saying it wasn't a good technique. Meant to imply some other things would be good in addition to. It's going to take a lot of work.

One is just delicious skin, the second includes his technique which helps smooth color transitions. This is with DS only: http://i.imgur.com/hn4cNwU.jpg This is with a light smattering of the CH skin smooth http://i.imgur.com/13EFpjm.jpg I didn't do anything else except brighten it. This took about 5 minutes, so I really didn't fine tune it, just to give you an idea. if this is the kind of thing you're going for I'd start with those and then dodge and burn to taste.
