What is your approach to a non-destructive raw-to-final portrait workflow?

[EthanPT]

I'm a portrait photographer trying to streamline my post-production, but my portrait retouching workflow is a chaotic mess that takes far too long per image. I use Photoshop and have a basic set of actions for skin smoothing and eye enhancement, but I'm still manually dodging and burning and getting inconsistent results, especially with skin tones across different lighting setups. I'd love to see how other professional portrait photographers structure their editing from raw file to final delivery—specifically, what are your non-destructive layers, adjustment orders, and any plugins or tools that have genuinely saved you significant time without sacrificing a natural, high-end look?
