You broke the cardinal rule of never touching someone without being explicitly invited to do so.
Where I am, it is reasonably OK to touch people's hands (handshaking on greeting strangers you are bieng introduced to is normal), elbows, and (briefly) the centre of a persons back in the area from between the shoulder-blades to the small of the back. Allowable parts of the body vary by culture.
Scratching stubble against another persons face wouldn't be usual. You'd need to give adequate warning, and be invited to do so. It would still be regarded as odd.
Your boundaries were not her boundaries, and you made the mistake of not checking first. Easily done.
