How do i make myself appear like a mannequin texture, in photoshop?? I'm not for using different cameras, just digital manipulation only. But is there anyway to get a self portrait and make it look plastic fake??

Generally it's just blurring that achieves the look, but you have to apply it fairly selectively.

Here's a tutorial that I think is what you are looking for, though probably not as extreme -

try using the smart blur filter. it's the same kind of effect that was used on Pulp's "This Is Hardcore" album sleeve

Hi there you could try - Filter - noise - dust and scratchers then history brush to bring back parts to normal - eyes etc. Use the healing brush to remove any blemishes before applying Dust n scrat
An extra plasticy look can be added with the plastic wrap - Filter - artistic then plas wrap - edit fade to suit.
Hope this helps

here is another suggestion - sounds a bit complex but isn't really when you get the hang of it
open image
duplicate layer
duplicate layer again (you now have 3 identical layers)
on top layer set layer blend mode to "screen" - everything goes very bright but don't worry
click on down arrow in layers palette and choose "merge down"
you now have 2 layers but everything is still bright
duplicate the top layer again, then set blend mode to "mulitply"
add gaussian blur to this layer, and reduce the opacity until you get the right look
