What is the main difference between spot healing brush tool and clone stamp tool? Which should be used for retouching any face in Photoshop?
 
Or put another way..
Clone stamp - takes whatever you put under the cursor when you press 'alt' and pasts it where you put the cursor and let go.. you have an imaginary line between the 'pick' and 'place' and it will pick ad place whatever is under the 'pick' spot at the same relative angle and distance to put under the 'place' spot wherever you click, until you use 'alt' again to pick another target.
You'd use the clone stamp, to maybe patch in a bit of back-ground wall over a distracting day-glo poster or something.
Spot healing - looks at what's under the spot, and looks for anything that ticks out, , looks around the spot and makes a best guess what to change to hide whatever is in the spot.
You'd use spot healing to 'dab-out' a pimple on a chin, or maybe a rain-bead on the lens 'dot'.
I tend not to have much use for either on electric pictures, but damned useful restoring scans of old negatives or prints; spot-heal gets most use for dabbing out dust spots or small scratches; the clone-stamp tends to only get used to 'patch in' good bits of a picture over more significant damage.
