select the affected faces in edit mode, left toolbar > shading > recalculate normals

you can also toggle on showing normals direction in the right bar menu (google it, hotkey to open bar is n). the normals should be facing outwards.
Masterlegodude:
If you use Blender, it's better to have backface culling enabled so that you have a clearer indication of how your model will look in game

Alternatively, you can select all the faces with A and press Ctrl N to recalculate the normals though hotkeys

If there's still inverted faces, you'll have to manually select them, press W for the Specials menu, then press F to flip the normals of the selected faces
