Other comments in the thread mention it applying to other textures too, so calling it a "beauty/skin filter" is a bit much, I think. It's probably just strong noise reduction being applied in general. I think noise reduction should be a setting that can be disabled, though, but I think it makes sense to enable by default for a front-facing camera that lacks the resolution/capabilities of the back camera and will probably be used more often in environments that would benefit from it being applied.
