The conspicuous lack of grime, dirt, or bruises on actors, especially those in action sequences. There is an inherent suggestion of grueling badassness to completely cover a character in sweat and grime to show that he's really gone through the wringer. This might be a remnant of older special effects, which lacked CG but were very fond of various fluids and chemicals being waded through and thrown around. Particularly noticeable on female characters. The human antithesis to this is probably Bruce Willis, who by the end of his movies is drenched in about five pints of grime, sweat and blood, mostly his own. Sigourney Weaver's stint as Ripley in Alien was probably the first major female exception. One practical reason is that film and television scenes are rarely shot in chronological order, requiring the director to carefully keep track of which scenes are supposed to show which markings. The easiest solution is to avoid the issue by not having any stains in the first place. See also Beauty Is Never Tarnished and Bullet-Proof Fashion Plate. May not protect against Gunge. For vehicles, see Damage-Proof Vehicle. Has nothing to do with Elemental Barrier. Examples |

The sword Sayafushi from Bleach, which was a failed attempt to make a perfect sword that came out too perfect to be usable, has the property that no blood will ever stick to it because it is too smooth and can't be damaged. | |

The titular character of Hope Comes to Brockton Bay explicitly has a minor superpower that prevents anything from sticking to her. It has all sorts of interesting interactions, including making her one of the very few people who can't be held by containment foam and allowing her to perform surgery without needing gloves or having to wash her hands. | |

The peasant characters are always dirty, whereas a King like Aragorn is at least less dirty. However, it is only in the coronation scene near the end of the third movie that Aragorn's head is no longer a mop of stringy, oily hair. | |

Star Trek: Picard: Since Elnor is a gorgeous character (and portrayed by Evan Evagora, an ex-model no less), the producers clearly didn't want anything to detract from his physical beauty. When Elnor slices through Romulan soldiers like they're butter in the "The Impossible Box", there is a lot of arterial spray, yet not a single drop of green blood splashes on him. In "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2", after walking a long distance from La Sirena to Coppelius Station in the blazing heat, Elnor looks pristine when he arrives at the entrance, which juxtaposes Narek's sweaty appearance and the subtle, but visible dirt marks on the latter's clothing. |

Naruto: While not normally in effect this trope was once invoked for dramatic effect; after Gaara's team clears the Forest of Death portion of the Chunin Exams in record time, proctor Anko and one of her colleagues (but luckily for the audience, not the local Watson) notice that Gaara doesn't have a scratch or speck of dust on his body. As it turns out, Gaara didn't get dirty because he was covered by a layer of sand. | |

With Strings Attached Apparently the Hunter has one of these —until he has his Heel–Face Turn. The battle on the Plains of Death leaves him completely disgusting and stinking to high heaven, even after John hoses him down. Averted, though, with John's cloak, which spends the book getting smellier and smellier because he's afraid to wash it lest he wash the magic off. |

James Bond almost never gets dirty during his action scenes - the biggest exception being Licence to Kill, where after setting the villain on fire, leading to a big explosion, Bond is bloody, with a wild hair and entirely covered in sand. Nothing less glamourous. And he gets really, really dirty throughout the entirety of Quantum of Solace. Quantum of Solace also features an exception to the rule regarding actresses never getting dirty. By the end, Olga Kurylenko is covered in just as much grime and sweat as Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig also gets covered in blood after killing a goon in Casino Royale (2006), a subversion to Bond's habit of simply straightening his tie and walking off afterwards. |

Dungeons & Dragons: The ritual Fastidiousness in the fourth edition grants magical protection from dirt as well as water damage. The cantrip Prestidigitation can be used to clean one's equipment. In certain editions, it can be cast an unlimited number of times per day, so adventurers don't need to worry about being walking masses of sweat, dirt and gore. |

Total War: Warhammer: Sigvald The Magnificent is a champion of Chaos who floats over the battlefield. Canonically blood and dirt don't ever stain his armor. This is reinforced in the game proper; if you have the Blood for the Blood God DLC activated, blood splatter will NEVER land on Sigvald despite everyone around him being painted red from head to toe. | |

In A New Hope, Princess Leia and the others end up in the trash compactor on the Death Star, yet none of them get remotely dirty. While Han and Luke at least have the excuse of changing out of their disguises, Chewie is naked and Leia is wearing a white dress, yet neither has a spot on them. Mark Hamill tells an amusing anecdote about this: as they were filming one of these scenes, he piped up saying "I was just underwater, shouldn't my hair be all mucky and dirty?" To which Harrison Ford replied "It ain't that kind of a movie, kid. If anyone's looking at your hair we're all in a lot of trouble." | |

Rachel from the Animorphs series. To the extent that the others (especially Marco) snark about it. Once, her best friend Cassie jokingly throws a dirt clod at her. "I just want to see if it is actually possible for dirt to cling to you." Rachel catches the clod, drops it, and refuses to show Cassie her hand. Memorably, in one book, the narrator describes Rachel as being able (paraphrased) "to be hit by a flood, picked up by a tornado, buried in a mudslide, and walk out with perfect hair, perfect clothes, and perfect makeup." Note that Rachel is the Blood Knight of the team. | |

In the pages of X-Men, Emma Frost's costumes are always a pristine white no matter what she goes through on a mission.

Wonder Woman: The show was surrounded by one. Wonder Woman could have a rolling catfight down a grassy hill in "Wonder Woman vs. Baroness von Gunther" and come up clean and without grass stains. Or she could beat up a room full of bottle-smashing, food throwing football players in "The Deadly Sting" and sill be clean. Or even win a rock smashing, mook throwing fight on a dirt road in "The Girl with a Gift for Disaster" and still be clean. Steve Trevor was the same, for example, making his way through a Nazi forest in "Fausta, the Nazi Wonder Woman" without dirt, grime, or sweat. | |

Transformers Film Series: Every Transformer with a GM-licensed vehicle mode, thanks to the Product Placement agreements. However, in robot-mode you can see the paint scuffs and dents. note This isn't just to make the cars look good, but because all cars were on lease from GM, so they had to remain factory perfect (meaning dents and scratches required the entire panel to need to be replaced rather than simple smoothed out) to be returned after filming. And to make things worse all the cars were either at the moment unreleased prototypes (Bumblebee, Sideswipe, the Twins) or custom made (Ironhide, Ratchet), meaning there were no spare parts available that wouldn't require a special order from GM. As a result the crew were very paranoid about delicate handing (Shia LaBeouf mentioned that anyone driving the Bumblebee Camaro was ordered to touch nothing inside but the wheel, shifter and pedals.) and intentionally causing minor damage was not feasible. Mikaela's white pants in Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, which stay totally clean even after she's been laying in dirt and sand. In Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Carly somehow gets through a firefight between Autobots and Decepticons, wanton collateral damage left and right, and a collapsing building with shards of concrete and glass raining down from all sides without a single scratch. As for Sam... he looks like he ran into a bus... and a wood chipper... and a wild bear. |

Doctor Who: Played straight in "Carnival of Monsters", where Jo sinks to her waist in a swamp on location. Her clothes are clean and dry in the studio scenes set less than a minute later. Averted, then played straight in "The End of Time". The Doctor is shot by the Master's captors, then ends up taking a skydive from an alien ship through the skylight of a mansion. By the time he takes the fatal blast of radiation to save Wilf, he looks like he's been through the wringer. After the blast, he heals his external injuries with the first energies from the upcoming regeneration, so that he'll look his normal, dapper self for his final goodbyes. |

Both lampshaded and justified in an issue of Superman, during John Byrne's run. Using his voluminous cape as an impromptu "robe" during a journey to the thirteenth century, Superman speaks briefly with two peasant farmers, then continues on down the road. The farmers turn to each other. Pre-New 52, Superman's invulnerability was a protective aura - a literal dirt forcefield. Once, while hiding out in disguise on Apokolips, he lamented the fact that this forcefield kept him from looking completely authentic amongst the unhygienic Lowlies that populate the planet. |

Humorously done at the end of Ghostbusters (1984), when Venkman (the "coolest" Ghostbuster) has only a dob of marshmallow in his hair, while the rest of the cast is completely covered. Apparently Bill Murray was not enthusiastic about being covered in goo again (after getting slimed earlier in the film) and convinced the others that having Venkman unscathed in this scene would be funnier. | |

A number of endings in the Mega Man X series have the heroes spotless, despite being in a series of violent battles. | |

In The Legend of Korra, Toph reappears living in the middle of a swamp, and yet her clothes are immaculate and her hair pure white (Korra, by contrast, spends the entire episode getting muddier). How does she do that without any means of looking at herself? Greatest earthbender in the world, remember? | |

Daniel Craig also gets covered in blood after killing a goon in Casino Royale (2006), a subversion to Bond's habit of simply straightening his tie and walking off afterwards. | |

Superintendent Sam Steele from The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck's "Hearts of Yukon" chapter. A superintendent of the North-Western Mounted Police does not get... 'Muddy'. Nor, for that matter, does he get 'blown up' or say "Yowch!". And yes, it does protect against being thrown into chest-high mud. | |

Pre-New 52, Superman's invulnerability was a protective aura - a literal dirt forcefield. Once, while hiding out in disguise on Apokolips, he lamented the fact that this forcefield kept him from looking completely authentic amongst the unhygienic Lowlies that populate the planet. | |

In Illbleed, the main female protagonist's appearance isn't affected by the environments, but it gets more and more torn, blood-soaked and muddy as she fails to save friends (i.e. completing a level without rescuing the friend there). In order to get the true ending, you have to lose everyone, at which point she is completely naked with only a few mudsmears to cover her bits. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, one of the defining features of the planet-shattering fights in the series is that the terrain around the fighters is often torn to pieces by the force of their blows, and energy blasts regularly kick up huge clouds of dust (often from which the intended target emerges unscathed). Despite this, whilst characters often suffer wounds and battle damage, they almost never get dirty. | |

Lampshaded in the Dragonlance novel The Legend of Huma by the wizard Magius. During a long trek, Huma and Kaz wonder why they are all muddy and Magius is still clean. Kaz then deliberately tries to kick mud onto Magius, which just bounces off some invisible barrier. | |

Kingdom Hearts generally plays this straight, as might be expected by the offspring of Disney and Final Fantasy. The secret movie "Birth by sleep" is an interesting exception - not only does it throw the impossibly-clean aesthetic out the window, it also manages to introduce a female lead in the middle of battle, covered in a mixture of dirt, grime, and her own sweat. | |
