great edit for skin, but like Johanna said, best would be somewhere in between, never the less a good edit.
my usual request to share the steps :)

Also you can reduce some whiteness of the teeth and remove 2-3 threads of hair from upper right corner IMO

I think the final edit should be somewhere in between. The original is much too pink, and the after is almost blown out in the mouth area. The original might have been fine with a bit of color correction, a tweaking of levels and contrast to add a little pop, and a slight smoothing of the lines under her eyes via method of choice.

The skin tones are much improved! She has such fine skin already, there's really very little need for retouching. I must say, the edit is a little plasticky, IMO. Take that for what it's worth, I tend to err on the conservative side with textural changes.
