From Ridicule to Routine: How I Found My Passion for Green Personal Care

Hi, I’m Sid, and welcome to my corner of the internet dedicated to green beauty and personal care for men. I’m 45, but my journey into the world of grooming and self-care started way back when I was 18—an age when talking about skincare as a guy was like asking for a one-way ticket to the ridicule zone. Back then, personal care for men was practically a taboo subject, but honestly? I didn’t care. I was hooked from the first moisturizer I tried. And I’ve been on this journey ever since.

Fast forward a few decades, and here I am—someone who has spent years researching, experimenting, and frankly geeking out about grooming products and techniques. My career as a video producer took me to some amazing places, working in an industry where “image is everything.” I learned first hand how much of an impact a little self-care can have—not just on how you look, but how you feel.

What really changed the game for me, though, was my travels. From European cities with minimalist, eco-friendly beauty shops to Southeast Asian markets brimming with natural remedies, I discovered a whole new world of personal care that’s kinder to your skin, the planet, and our animal friends. This blend of eco-conscious and cruelty-free practices became a passion I couldn't ignore.

And now, I want to share what I’ve learned with you—Millennials and Gen Z guys who are redefining what it means to take care of yourselves. Here, you’ll find no-nonsense advice, honest reviews, and practical tips straight from my personal experiences. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your skincare game, make your grooming routine more eco-friendly, or just figure out what the heck “clean beauty” actually means, I’ve got you.

This blog isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. It’s about making small, sustainable changes that add up to big differences, for you and for the planet. So, if you’re ready to ditch the harsh chemicals, say goodbye to boring routines, and embrace a personal care journey that’s as good for the earth as it is for your face, you’re in the right place.

Let’s do this—one eco-friendly product at a time. Welcome to the Green Swagger club!
