Remove Color Cast

You could also use the Remove Color Cast tool to achieve a similar skin color improvement —although this feature is not quite as flexible as it lacks those Tan, Blush, and Ambient Light sliders.

Essentially, any tool designed to adjust the color by taking a sample from the image itself is based on the White Balance feature, which you'll find scattered about the application in one form or other.

Tip:

'Click on a part of the Image'. It's a clear instruction but the information Elements receives from a single random click might not be accurate enough to get a reasonable result. To improve results, try right-clicking and from the pop-out menu choose to average out the sample with either a 3 x 3 or 5 x 5 pixel array. This might well produce a more reliable and realistic result.
