If the beard is thin and the skin can be seen, washing the skin is mandatory. But if it is thick, putting the wet fingers in between the hair with some water is sufficient.

My question is regarding wudu. If the beard is thick at the chin does one have to wash the outer layer of the part of the beard that is below the chin and extends to the top of the neck? I don’t know if it would be part of the face in wudu. If this is obligatory to do then what about the wudu’s which I have done earlier in which I did not wash this part? Would it be valid?
