Hide the upper layer, and use Contrast/brightness on the lower layer to get the effect you want in the desired area. Overdo it a bit. Ignore the parts outside the area of concern--they won't show when you are done. Turn the upper layer back on, and use the eraser to reveal the part of the lower layer you want to see. Flatten.
