Tim, Sharon or all,

How do you know how far to push the value in the skin tone, meaning the shadows of the face? I think one of my problems here was I started above from life and then went to the photo reference, but as Sharon pointed out, I tend to lighten the lights instead of darkening the darks. Are there rules of thumb here?
