How to achieve desaturated, yet creamy skin tones

[lkmlee]

How do you achieve creamy, yet fairly desaturated skin just like this example without affecting other colors in hair, eyes and lips.  Without lightening the overall image and so that skin does not look too white?

Thank you, it might be a bit muted. Could add some detail back in perhaps. I do like the skin tone.

What kind of detail, exactly?

This one has slightly stronger shadows, if that's what you mean:

Yes,  that gives it more depth. Thank you!
