One of the easiest ways, I think, is to make a selection of the face. It doesn't have to be exact. Copy and paste it onto the target picture, it will be on it's own layer. Reduce the opacity of this layer to see through the pasted face, that will make it easier to align it with the face below.
Now click ctrl+t for transform and align and or resize the face as necessary. Use the eyes as a guide for placement. When you get it placed properly bring the opacity back to 100%. Use a soft eraser at low opacity where required on the new layer to remove excess areas and to blend it into the original.
At this point you likely will need to adjust the layer for color/saturation contrast, lighting, etc. to get the best match. |

Sorry, but there is no one single set of instructions for correcting the skin color to match. It all depends on the image itself as to what technique will yield the best results.
Hue/saturation, selective color, brightness/contrast, curves, etc. can all be used. Experiment for yourself, but do so using adjustment layers. |
