Sounds good. But it was just to stress that whatever global saturation level you choose you will need to tweak the skin tone mask accordingly. An alternative method is to create the skin tone mask on the node before to the one that is currently being used to make the global saturation adjustments (which can be deleted). From that you add an 'outside node' which creates an 'exclusion mask' i.e. includes everything but the skin tone mask. That way you can use these two nodes to adjust the saturation of the skin tones and "everything else" independently, and you don't have to keep tweaking the mask - unless of course you make other adjustments 'upstream'.
