Abstract
An applicator for applying a cream or lotion or like substance to the skin and spreading the substance thereon to coat an area of the skin. An applicator head defines an application surface with at least one opening therein for delivery of the substance. The application surface has a substantially flat main area with an arcuate leading edge. A spreading lip is disposed opposite the leading edge and extends upwardly and rearwardly and tapers to a free edge to form a spreading blade tip. The leading edge is smoothly rounded to define a gradual transition between the main area of the application surface and a peripheral surface extending around the head to the position of the spreading lip.
