Are there any side effects? How long before you rinse face? etc?

YES! Aloe can't hurt your delicate face. never heard of a side effect from fresh aloe plant, only from certain aloe gels (because of the OTHER ingredients!!)
No need to rinse it until you're washing your face as you normally would (ie. showering) and you can (and should) reapply it as often as needed.
Aloe is awesome!

Hello. Yes, applying the gel to your face is safe but you should clean your face with soap and water followed by hydrogen peroxide first. Please be carefull not to get any of that stuff in your eyes, nose and/or mouth. Also when you use the gel, be carefull not to get it in your eyes. As for any side effects, the only one you should worry about is if you would have a skin allergy to the aloe vera gel. If so, then just stop using it. You probably wouldnt have to rinse the gel off. Aloe vera gell is a good skin protectant from the ravages of the sun.

It's the best thing you can do
wash the outside of a piece of aloe vera plant
peel off the skin with a knife cut only the top layer
the inside will start to ooze and apply where needed

Yes if the the aloe vera plant you are using is non-toxicnthere are some aloe vera plants that are not allowed to be use as herbal for skin or food,but try it first with your scalp before taking a bath,then if no reaction or allergies,youcan use it regularly on your face!Goodluck!

Yes. I do it all the time. Just rinse when you want to.
I have never known anyone to have side effects, but that doen't mean there aren't any.
I keep a aloe handy and have yet to feel pain from a burn sinse I have used it directly on the skin
When I burn my tounge on food, I break off a piece of alo and put it on my tounge.

Just leave on there, the aloe vera plant has been used for years for minor cuts and sunburns.

If you are using it for healing I would put it on at night and wash in the morning. Sometimes it is to thick or feels funny on the face to wear in the day time. There are no side effects that i have heard of except the weird feeling on the skin at first.

oh yes u can.u can even apply it on your hair for better growth.
But make sure the liquid that you applied is gooey transparent clear colour. if its white and milky,that isnt the one.In fact that is the poisonous sap you have to avoid.
Rememer the sap is milky white. Do ask someone who's good at this to help you cut the plant.

My mom kept an aloe vera plant in the kitchen. It was better than the medicine cabinet. Thanks mom.
