Why did people in TV and movies stop wiping their faces?

In recent shows people don't wipe their faces after getting mud, dirt, blood, etc. on them. I'm in my 50s and this feels like a change. I remember watching the commentary on the Evil Dead DVD, in which Bruce Campbell talked about a "continuity wipe" where the actors would intentionally wipe their faces at the end of a scene so that when the movie was cut together, there wouldn't be obvious continuity problems. I noticed that other older shows did that too. What's changed?

I find it so distracting to look at the mess on people's faces -- it totally takes me out of the moment. It upends my suspension of disbelief. It's gross and makes me feel physically uncomfortable, as if I had ick on my own face.
