Is there any way to remove purple color from the face in such a way that this coloured area matches the surrounding skin colour? I am using Adobe Photoshop CS 6.

This purple colour is due to a beam of light.

I would first use the Brush tool in color mode to paint over the purple with skin color and get it close to the orange from the skin. Then possibly use a selection from the other side as a replacement.

Hi, for such issues, I'd try to use content from the other side of the head, (selection, Jump to new layer: CTRL+J, then flip, and transform to fit, mask) or cloning from another image where the beam did not shine on the face.

You could try to use the clone tool on a separate layer, and try using different blending modes?

Can you elaborate this procedure by enlisting all steps one by one?

Other than elaborate clone painting I can't really think of much. The purple is completely blown out, meaning there is no recognizable skin texture left which would allow for trying color corrections. That may work in the beard/ hair, though, but not the actual skin.
