Going from:

Translatable.
1. Begin with base:
2. Duplicate base and set layer to SCREEN (my percentage is at 76%, but this depends on your picture). I also SHARPENED (Filter>Sharpen) the SCREEN layer:

4. Create a new layer filled with #eed9c8 and set the layer to SOFT LIGHT 100%:

5. Create a new layer filled with #2f2e2e and set the layer to EXCLUSION 100%:

6. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>HUE/SATURATION(/LIGHTNESS), enter in:
MASTER: SATURATION: 23
(leave all others alone)
7. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>COLOR BALANCE, enter in:
MIDTONES: 10, -21, 8
SHADOWS: -15, 18, 0
NO HIGHLIGHTS, CHECK PRESERVE LUMINOSITY
