For face sets (probably would work well for sprites, too):
Isolate the skin areas with your lasso tool (I prefer magnet, but be ready to use 'backspace' a lot to get the line where you want to go X_X) or magic wand tool then go up to IMAGE --> ADJUSTMENTS --> HUE/SATURATION. Move curser until happy. Or you can blend/adjust the color output with IMAGE --> ADJUSTMENTS --> COLOR BALANCE. This allows you to choose what color family makes up the shadows, mid tone, and highlights.
I tend to stay away from REPLACE COLOR...but only because I've had some weird results with it. You may find this works better. Make sure you use your curser to select the mid tone of their face first, before sliding the transform bar.
