I was getting a little confused about the difference between duplicating a layer and creating a new blank layer. When would you do one and when would you do the other one?

Masks are one way to deal with it, when you must, but here's something else to think about:thanks...
but here comes another question. Let's say I am retouching a portrait. on layer 1 (duplicate of the background) I clean all the blemishes. Then I duplicate it, and on layer 2 I soften the skin with a layer mask. Then I duplicate and on layer 3 I remove excessive hair. Now I realize that I forgot to soften a part of her cheek. so I go back to layer 2, click on the layer mask and with the brush, I add a couple of strokes. I see them in that layer (if I click on the eye on layer 3), but I once I reactivate the eye on layer 3, I don't see the area I just added.
What am I missing?
thanks...

Could you post a video of you removing blemishes and hairs using FS with dodging and burning? That would be awesome.thanks...

google frequency separation.
i do that and then a 50% gray layer set to overlay for dodging and burning.
