Photoshop skin tone matching help

[kidbwapo]

Hi
I need some photoshopping help. I have a beach pic with a bunch of people in it and I need to photoshop another person in from a different picture. I'm having real trouble matching the skin tones from the photoshopped image to make it look reasonably authentic.

Is there an easy way to do this or a good guide anywhere?
Thanks

Not easy, but a guide: https://patdavid.net/2012/07/getting-aro...ore-color/

...but it all depends on the images.

As for rich2005's reply I would also add, try and enhance your photos separately first until they look the similar then put them together
