Create new layer and move this layer under layer with baby. After that select Gradient tool with Radial gradient. Choose the first one preset as is marked with red circle and color you want (in my case light green color). Second color will be white.

Next step is to select Mixer brush tool. You can use settings like me(in red box). This tool is mixing near colors. So we will retouch skin a bit.

    The good part of this tutorial is the images used here for specifying the steps very clearly. Its helpful for the beginners in many ways. Retouching requires skill and perfection so I practicing all the tutorials one by one to get the perfect one.

    Love it! I would love to see a video of your editing! Maybe it will help to stop outsourcing images to freelancers or companies as Lavalu and Fixthephoto. This photo enhancement services make a great job but I want to do it by myself. Everything you guys do is so awesome, so creative, and so helpful. You rule!
