I’m a mobile app developer from Kashmir sharing what I learn about skincare for oily, acne-prone skin, life in tech, and the small observations that make life easier to understand.
Things I Keep Exploring
The Worlds Inside Kashmiri Koor
🧴 Skincare Experiments
New routine. New product. New hope. Sometimes it works. Sometimes my skin says “absolutely not.” Either way, I keep experimenting.
💻 Life as a Developer
My everyday world: writing code, fixing bugs, breaking things, fixing them again… and those tiny yesss! moments when everything finally works.
🧪 Ingredient Deep Dives
Umm… why does niacinamide show up in literally every product? I keep falling into ingredient rabbit holes trying to figure out what actually works for oily, acne-prone skin.
🌱 Observations About Life
Random thoughts about habits, curiosity, and those little moments where you suddenly realise… oh, that’s why life works like that.
A Small Introduction
This blog started with a simple curiosity..
Most days I’m debugging mobile apps.
The rest of the time… I’m debugging my skin.
Having oily, acne-prone skin means I’ve spent way too many nights reading about ingredients, routines, and why some products work while others absolutely don’t.
Kashmiri Koor is just a place where I write about those discoveries, and a few thoughts about tech and life along the way.

My Curiosity
A few things I keep learning.
Understanding what ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid and retinoids actually do for oily and acne-prone skin.
I focus on usability, accessibility, and interaction design, ensuring seamless navigation for websites and mobile apps. My goal is to balance aesthetics with functionality, creating designs that engage users and drive conversions.
Bringing creative ideas to life through custom illustrations and vector artwork tailored for branding, web, and social media. My illustration style varies from minimalistic vector graphics to detailed hand-drawn artwork, depending on the project needs.
Designing aesthetically pleasing and functional websites that provide a seamless user experience. I work with modern web design principles, ensuring sites are responsive, visually appealing, and optimized for conversions.
Most of my days started revolving around mobile apps. Writing code, fixing bugs, breaking things, fixing them again.
Somewhere in those late-night debugging sessions… curiosity became a habit.
Oily skin. Random breakouts. Products that promised miracles and delivered confusion.
So I started reading about ingredients… and accidentally fell deep into skincare rabbit holes.
At some point I realised I was learning a lot but writing none of it down.
So this little corner of the internet became my notebook for everything I keep discovering.

Little Notes
Things People Usually Ask Me.
"I’ve tried so many skincare products and nothing works. Where should I even start?"
Honestly… I asked the same question for years. Usually the answer isn’t another product. It’s understanding your skin first.
