Claim:
A device for applying a fluid composition to the skin, said device comprising (i) a reservoir containing said composition, said composition comprising at least one tensioning polymer present in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 20% by weight and selected from at least one of a protein, a protein hydrolyzate, a proteoglycan/glycoaminoglycan, and a polysaccharide; and (ii) a skin-contactable surface having from about 5 to about 25 openings wherein said openings are of at least two different sizes the first size opening having an area that is at least twice the area of the second size opening wherein said device is adapted such that said fluid composition may be extruded from such reservoir to said skin-contacting surface through said openings and wherein said device is in the shape of elongate shell having an imaginary longitudinal axis that forms an acute angle of from about 35 degrees to about 60 degrees with said substantially planar skin-contactable surface.
