Painting skin is one of the hardest tasks faced by every photorealistic painter, due 
to the number of factors that make up a final effect – colour choices, blending techniques, special brush usage and custom texturing are all equally important to achieve a truly realistic effect. It’s also crucial to remember that different types of skin require a different approach and therefore a different combination of these elements. A delicate porcelain skin tone will require a similar technique to the transparent skin typical for babies, but will drastically differ to darker skin rendition methods.

I've created a PRO Photoshop Action to extract the pores and small details you want to keep, to dramatically smooth out the big bumps, and re-apply the pores back later.
