Greens in skintones headache

Is it just me? Why is there always green latching onto skin tones after a colour balance, and when you try to take it out it becomes too or quite red or magenta. Any prevention ideas, apart from creating a key, because it's not practical all the time. Any professional approach, or required mode of operation while approaching an image. Thanks for the education in advance.

If you're looking for a "saturated" look... you may find that all kinds of color reflections from sets, costumes, grass etc reflect on the face.  With enough saturation, you're going to see multi colored faces.  Film origination is less sensitive to this as it tends to push tones towards the color of what we think of as skin.  It's not as accurate, but many find it more pleasing.
