Improving color

When having an indoor photoshoot, I notice that the skin tones in the photos I take are always off. The overall color of the photograph is affected too, but the skin color is what really makes it noticable.

I assume that it has to do with lighting. When getting ready to do a quick little photoshoot with my kids I open curtains and blinds to allow plenty of natural light. But, is there a way to improve on this with my camera's settings?

I have been manually editing my photos in photoshop using a color balance adjustment layer (example below). Works fine, but kind of wanting to learn on how to correct the problem rather than cover my boo-boos.
