Correcting skin tones after the fact

So, I went out to an old part of town with a cluster of brick buildings. One area we were in had a lot of light reflecting off of the brick which caused a muddy, reddy-brown cast on the model's skin (see pic below, unprocessed except to convert from RAW to jpeg).

I use Lightroom and Photoshop, but prefer to stay in Lightroom as much as possible.

My question is about trying to bring the skin tone back to normal. Do you end up just eyeballing it while playing with curves or levels? What tricks to you use to get people with bizarre skin tones back to looking human again? :-)

Thanks for any advise you might have.
Don
