A dispensing applicator for applying liquid to the skin, comprising:
- (a) a handle having:
- (i) a base portion;
- (ii) a self-contained internal reservoir for containing a liquid, wherein the handle is elongated for extended reaching and is closed at one end and terminates at the base portion;
- (b) a head having a housing and an applicator portion;
- (c) the base portion being pivotally connected to the housing;
- and
- (d) a pump interconnecting the reservoir of the handle to the applicator portion of the head and operative responsive to unidirectional, pivotal movement of the handle about a fixed axis spaced apart from the pump to deliver liquid from the reservoir to the applicator portion by compression of the pump against a pivoting surface internal to the head when the applicator portion of the head is positioned against a user's skin, and the handle is pivotally operated to dispense the liquid and return the head to its original fixed position following the pumping action.
