Skin retouching focuses on enhancing your natural features while keeping your appearance authentic. Temporary blemishes like acne are removed, but permanent features such as freckles and moles are usually left untouched, since they’re part of what makes you you.
Wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes are usually just lightened but they can be removed if requested. But completely removing facial lines can look unrealistic.
Removing skin blemishes, smoothing skin texture, cleaning up stray hairs, and evening out skin tones can sometimes produce a remarkable change in a person’s photo. But similar results can usually be achieved with professional hair and makeup styling, and proper photo lighting.
Retouching doesn’t turn you into someone else. It highlights your best qualities, so you still look like you, just at your most polished.
