Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh A1. If a person has such a thin beard that the skin beneath it can be seen, then it necessary to wash the skin. However if a person has a dense beard then it will necessary to wash that part of the beard which is on the face and not the portion exceeding the circumference of the face. Therefore if the gel is put in such a way that water reaches the required portion of the beard then it would be permissible to gel the beard and make wudu with the gel on. الدر المختار - (ج 1 / ص 100) سعيد (وغسل جميع اللحية فرض) يعني عمليا (أيضا) على المذهب الصحيح المفتى به المرجوع إليه، وما عدا هذه الرواية مرجوع عنه كما في البدائع.ثم لا خلاف أن المسترسل لا يجب غسله ولا مسحه بل يسن، وأن الخفيفة التي ترى بشرتها يجب غسل ما تحتها، كذا في النهر.وفي البرهان: يجب غسل بشرة لم يسترها الشعر كحاجب وشارب وعنفقة في المختار A2. It is not permissible to remove the baby beard. One can use hair straightening agents to overcome the mentioned difficulty. And Allah knows best Wassalam Ml. Ishaq E. Moosa,
