If you have Lightroom, import a portrait image and do nothing other than move the Clarity slider. Negative clarity will soften everything and remove or at least hide a lot of skin irregularities. There are "Glow" filters in some software programs that do the same, but this is the basic crux of what's being done.
Like this...
The Clarity adjustment is likely on top of skin and face adjustments using other tools at the photographer's disposal, and is meant to accentuate those while also softening their surroundings and help keep the people as the focal point.
