Hi!! i'm newbie here and as a freelancer so if you have the time to look at my profile/portfolio and give me some tips/critiqs to get some jobs in this page! (i was working with some retouching company for 5 years so i don't have really knowledge of how to make a good portfolio or get some jobs as my own)

You need a lot more before and after pics.  In fact, that's really the only thing you need.
My eye is immediately drwn to the crusty patch on the elbow in this pic: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/190624/01/5d108585ddb8c_m.jpg

You should fix that.

Holly WOW due!  Pretty stuff.

Be very selective with your portfolio.  Look for those looks that are jaw dropping as you can afford.  Study those IG profiles that are in the millions of followers to calibrate your eye.

IMO Those clavicles are very distracting.
You REALLY need to use a gradient map on this:

And then maybe the patch tool to fade those clavicles a little (or alternate method) But only MAYBE.
I'd also do a little contouring because the left margin of the breast on the left looks too white to me.

Yeah, I like the fading a lot, but you may customers with other tastes.
