    I think there are probably several ways to reduce skin specularity from photos in Photoshop, including using the burning tool, adjusting levels, and maybe cloning out the particularly bright spots. I don't have a definitive answer for you, but there is a really good video on YouTube demonstrating how to do the latter fairly easily. Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV8-ITRaYfI

    If the mods remove the link for any reason, I simply searched "Reducing Shine Hotspots on Skin" in YouTube's search feature.

    Why would you expect a Mod to remove the link? Just curious

    I really did not think it would get removed. There wouldn't be any reason for it, but just in case... I did not want to forget where I got the info thereby not being very helpful to OP.
