A liquid applicator as provided which is particularly useful in applying pre-operative surgical scrubs or paints to skin. The article is provided with an inner layer of porous metering material and an outer layer of open-cell foam sponge material which regulate the flow of liquid therethrough to provide acceptable wetting of the foam sponge while preventing dripping therefrom. The applicator includes an air vent spaced from the applicator head to allow air to flow into the applicator while liquid is being dispensed. This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 904,788, filed Sept. 4, 1986, now abandoned, which is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 798,989, filed 11/18/85, now abandoned.
