It takes a while but you can build up a nice gradient which isn't overly uniform however if you want to smooth it back over, return with a low opacity colour, which is also an excellent way to shade.

Yup! I also like using a shade and highlight colour on a low opacity in place of the burn/dodge. It can add a bit more depth to the skin with a hue change. All these methods work and it's down to the user to decide which they prefer because none are really superior to another.
I like to use darken and lighten with the circle three brush, with incremental turned on, and exposure set to 5.
