How to Remove Wrinkles in Photoshop

Retouching wrinkles on someone’s face can be a very *touchy* matter! Today we show you how to both completely remove wrinkles as well as reduce them in a more subtle manner.

Complete Removal

The healing brush tool is our best friend in terms of removing wrinkles! Be sure to use a brush size that is slightly larger than the wrinkle, and then sample a color right below the wrinkle to paint over it (Alt/Opt + Click). Make sure to select “Current & Below” for the sampling.

This technique must be used very carefully, as it is easy to make an elderly face look too smooth.

A More Subtle Approach

For a more natural approach, we can use the clone stamp tool. Duplicate the background layer (Cmd + J) to work on a layer with pixels. If you are on a new layer rather than a duplicated one, this technique will not work. Also, be sure to select the “Lighten” Mode; this paints over the wrinkle in a less obvious manner to conceal the lines.

This tends to be a quicker process than using the healing brush tool, because it simply lightens to darkest parts of the wrinkles and does not pull skin texture from other parts of the face.
