Use modifier!
Smooth is quite an old feature. The recent Blender versions have a much more flexible tool to realize these sort of effects: the Smooth modifier.

The Smooth tool tries to smooth your selected parts of the mesh, by reducing (flattening) sharp angles between faces and edges. Like the Noise operation described below, each time you press the Smooth button (or use one of the menu entries), a new “level” of smoothing is applied.
Real Smoothing versus Shading Smoothing
Do not mistake this tool with the shading smoothing options described at this page, they do not the same work! This tool modifies the mesh itself, to reduce its sharpness, whereas Set Smooth/AutoSmooth and co only control the way the mesh is shaded, creating an illusion of softness – but without modifying the mesh at all…
