In this tutorial, I’m gonna show you step by step how you can remove wrinkles from your skin! Make your mother appear 30 years younger :D. This is as usual a tutorial for beginners. I searched with Google Images and found a photo for a very cute woman. Let me show you the result first then we will start going through the steps.

Let’s start!

1- Duplicate your photo’s layer (Layer > Duplicate Layer).

2- Add a Median Noise to the new layer (Filter > Noise > Median…):

3- You’ll get something simillar to this:

Note that in all effects we’re adding, you may increase or decrease the values in the settings depending on your photo’s size.

4- Now, we’re going to Gaussian Blur the layer to get rid of the borders we got after adding the Median noice filter (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur):

5- You’ll get something like this:

6- Add a mask to this layer. To do that, click on the icon I pointed to in the following photo:

7- Now clear the mask by selecting Black as foreground color, pressing (G) to select the Paint Bucket Tool and painting the photo. The new layer will be hidden and the layers window will look like this:

8- Now, we’re gonna start removing the wrinkles. Choose the White color as a foreground color, the press (B) to select the brush tool. Then, edit the brush settings to the following:

9- Start brushing the skin smoothly without touching the details (Hair, Eyes, Lips…). You can increase and decrease the brush size to fit in the hard corners. You should get something simillar to or better than this:

We’re done!
