I think people realize all of what contributes to the complexities of 
skin color,... fat, bone, blood vessels, pigmentation patterns, but we 
have no method yet to directly simulate these as subsurface layers.  So 
to date, the alternative of using uv'd pigment maps is still getting 
better results.  SSS has been used to suggest the dramatic translucency 
that is apparent under specific lighting situations.  Variations in 
finish also contributes to the look of flesh.
