Not only can you make the skin tones better at the editing level in your image app, but also on how you use screen angles, paper and special finishes at the commercial press.
I’ve heard of some fashion magazine graphic firms that flip the angles of the CMYK values. I guess this is beyond most of us and would require expertise and tweaking.
Personally, I prefer editing in RGB and I just make sure the skin tones have a certain precent more red than green , more green than blue. Unless they are tan or very dark skin.
I’ve also used some plugins and on occasion have scans of some goos stock photography or models that I opne in photoshop and do a side by side comparison with info palette and visual. Of course it need to be the same seeting (daylight, outdoor/indoor, 5000k)
Good luck.
