I'm always up for learning new stuff. So which technique do you use for skin retouching? Are you happy with the results?

I think there isn't really much secrets left anymore. The industry standards and most natural results will benefit from Dodge and Burn.

I've been hearing that industry is not happy with frequency seperation anymore though.

It doesn't matter what others think. If you have success, don't tell others what you do.
It's the same as people judging you photography by asking you, what camera you use.
If it works, let em' keep guessing.
Otherwise they'll start judging, because many want to lean on their knowledge of photography,
but are not artistic, or have a natural eye for photography.
Eager to critique. Yet cutting edge art has always broken the rules, armchair critics insist upon.

The best techniques are those which one develops for oneself in the process of working and exploring new things. This is actual learning, not repeating what others recommend/sell to you.

Anything can be used poorly or to excess, a few years ago a woman died as a result of drinking too much water for a radio contest. Who would have thought that possible?
