I don't generally like to do much smoothing but I think this could use some reduced texture. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

(Create a Layer mask using the red channel) No sharpening has been applied, unless ACR is doing some despite being told not to. For these kind of shots I always use a mask so that the sharpening is only applied to the eyes, lips and maybe jewelry. -- Ken

I basically spent a couple hours with the spot healing brush getting the skin smooth enough that I could do a very lightly applied surface blur layer to smooth things out without it looking too plastic.
