dont dry em on a raditor for a start or if you must then wrap them in a thin towel first

Second good leather food, not softener is what you want. I hear mayo is a good substitute but never tried it myself.

Dont use you g/f's double expensive moutsturiers tho. She'll kill ya. Especially dont say if its good on her skin it should work on dried up leather pretty well too.

Atrixo hand cream! Actually any basic no nonsense hand cream will do.

Not sure about the mayo, can you imagine the smell a few days later?
