With your top layer activated open the next middle tube and copy and paste as a new layer.  As I wanted
to show her hands on her hips I had to go to the very bottom layer Selections> Select All and go to the top tube layer
and Image> Crop to selection.
Duplicate your tube layer and this time I added Xero> Porcelain to the bottom/ original layer and for the
duplicated layer did the blur and then changed the blend mode to soft light.
