Here’s a quick video in which I walk through a very simple technique for correcting too much red in faces using just Lightroom.
I picked this tip up from Aaron Nace’s tutorial on a similar technique in Photoshop. I generally try to avoid going to Photoshop if it is something I can deal with in Lightroom. It’s just faster and a preferred piece of software for me.
If you need to do this in Photoshop, check out this Phlearn video for an explanation of how to accomplish this inside Photoshop, where you’ll have much more control in isolating colors.

Being that post editing programs tend to copy each other alot, why doesn’t LR have skin color mod yet?
Capture One Pro has had that ability for several years.

Hi Eric,
I love that you are presenting ways to circumvent using PhotoShop for anything but the most demanding editing. The linking process is still slow and really puts a hole in my workflow.
Please keep passing these tips along, they really do help.
BTW … this is my first webpage of every morning. It keeps me abreast of everything I like to follow in photography. Thanks for all of your efforts.
