Now we’re going to ease on down the opacity of this layer on specific areas of the face with a layer mask, so we can always go back and forth :
Go to LAYER —> LAYER MASK and choose REVEAL ALL , a new icon will appear next to your layer now.
Now select a standard brush, not too ‘hard’ ( right click your button to choose the hardness when the brush is selected ), and make sure your FOREGROUND COLOR is set to BLACK and your BACKGROUND COLOR is set to WHITE.The BLACK color is now chosen, when painting now with the layer mask selected ( click the icon, though the layer mask is selected automatically right after creation ) you will erase part of the texture layer, if you switch the color to WHITE you will bring back the layer.Play with the opacity of your brush to get the result you are looking for.
