The main thing is work with copies so that the original images are not damaged.
Going onto the web - so jpeg or png format. Then why use layers?

All sorts of ways, quickest is use the smudge tool and a suitable size brush (1)
Want it tidier? A couple of suggestions. Make a selection and blur; Filters ->
Blur -> Gaussian blur (2)
or
Make a selection and pixelise Filters -> Blur -> Pixelise (3)
