Or change brand of wipes... may help. Also, use alot of conditioner on his beard, it helps seal the hair shaft and will make for easier cleanup of food and stuff. Make sure there's no hair getting stuck in his mouth... sometimes I think they use it as dental floss. You could use a shampoo formulated for daily use (Suave makes Daily Clarifying Shampoo for humans: won't strip all the natural oils out, just the dirty stuff). If the odor doesn't clear up, it may be good to have your vet check his skin... he may have a bacterial or fungal problem going on.

Also, if he's rubbing his face alot, that can indicate an allergy... usually to his food (chicken based is high up on the list of known allergens). Maybe try switching protein sources gradually to see if you notice any decrease in the face rubbing.

Last, but not least, feed him out of high quality stainless steel or ceramic bowls (approved for human food consumption would be good) for food and water. Plastics can leach out chemicals into the food and water that will affect sensitive dogs. Sensitivity can build up over a period of time too, so something he was okay with 2-3 months ago may not be okay with him now.
