The winter beauty image edit

See the tricks of my trade and see me edit this beauty image. This image has been retouched using some basic Photoshop tools which allowed me perfect the skin whilst still keeping the skin texture. No plugins, skin blurring, smoothing or a digital noise used. 

I use the same techniques for both portrait and fashion photography. However I tend to use lighter retouching on a portraits unless clients requests it.
