Basic approach: duplicate layer, make duplicate 80% multiply, copy skin from first layer and create top layer, blur gaussian 5 px, soften to 80% opacity, and finally blur out the person in the background by selecting and gaussian blur of 50%. This requires that the face layer be brought to the top to overlay the background correctly.
