Tutorial is right

Save and crop your image to 100x100 like so

Duplicate > Screen at 67% > Sharpen more
Duplicate > Desaturate > Hard light at 53%

So now you should have something similar to this

Take this texture Previously a larger texture made by Hybrid-Genesis.net
Paste the texture as a new layer on soft light at 100%

Now use this gradient Sorry, I do not know who made this, please comment and tell me if it was you or you know who it was.
Make a new layer and set it as screen at 75%. Use the same gradient and make a new layer and set that layer as soft light at 100%

Now your image should look something like this

Choose the sharpen too and just go over the eyes and lips until your satisfied.

Use this texture Also don't know who made, comment if it was you.
Make a new layer and set it as soft light at 100%

Now your image should look like this

Go to the Brightness/Contrast and make your settings: Brightness -3 and Contrast 7 - Do that two times.

Make a new layer and add your text (if you want text) and your done!!!
