From personal experience, no amount of supplements replaces the value of sun on the skin. Then again I'm approaching 30, so what do I know.

  My wife has darker skin and really obviously has to be in strong sunshine every once in a while to maintain healthy skin. I, redbeard, read a book nearby under the sun umbrella.

    What is healthy skin?

      Healthy looking skin would be the correct term, I guess. Makeup foundation plays a similar function as the melanin the skin produces. When sun exposed the amount of melanin is high and hides the small imperfections in the skin. I'm from the caribbean so during the winter, when the sun is less visible, my melanin levels drop. Parts of my skin look ashen and spotty since they have less pigment then other area. Come summertime I seriously look 10 years younger. Some people go too far and seriously distress their skin, producing wrinkles, premature aging, and increased chances of cancer.

      Exactly what Yardie said.
