The sun. I know people always are saying put on sunblock and try to stay out of the sun so you don't get burned, but you do also need sun! That is why Africans have black skin, because in Africa they have a lot of sun. Most Europeans have fair (white) skin (like me, I am Irish) because they don't get much sun in Europe, so their skin is white to absorb the sunlight!
