: apart from the fact that this is not a standard expression, it also means the reverse of your explanation (skin-deep = superficial)

about to smile/on the point of smiling
Declined
'a flor de piel' means that something is about to come out, is just below the surface. It's difficult to know how to put it without the rest of the sentence but here are some suggestions:
He/she looked was about to smile.
He/she was on the point of smiling.
He/she was struggling to conceal/suppress a smile.
