DIRECT ANALYSIS OF CHOLESTEROL ON SKIN ON SKIN SAMPLES REMOVED WHEN UNMOVING THE RIBBON. Cholesterol in the skin is measured by applying a tape over a selected area of skin to adhere the tape to the selected skin area and removing the tape from the selected skin area to obtain a representative sample of the outer layer of stratum. horny skin, the sample adheres to the tape so that it has exposed skin components.
