It says duplicate the photo layer. [Select that layer with a click on it and press Ctrl+j]
Then goto menu "Filter->Noise->Median" and choose the apropriate setting

hey, thanks for the reply.. i understood that part.. the part after that until the end is what's confusing me. i know that median helps in smoothing the skin, but, how does it help in changing the dull complexion?
