Preferably without any stinky solvents and greasy oils. Thanks!

Skin doesn’t die unless it’s completely cut off. That’s how I keep my leather looking brand new for years and years.

I use car care products if I need an extra boost. They have those interior leather care products that work pretty well on shoes and shit, not just fancy car seating and stearing wheel covers. The upper crust types won't stand for greasy seats so the product probably (and does) leave minimal residue. Not sure if it's great for human skin though, probably carcinogenic.

I use the car stuff even on leather furniture (inherited). It works. Choose a spot nobody can see to test whatever you decide on. I’ve used olive oil on some leathers but it can stain.
