To moisturize leather, you'll need a quality leather conditioner. First, clean the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then, apply a small amount of the conditioner on a soft cloth and rub it into the leather in circular motions, ensuring even coverage. Avoid over-application to prevent the leather from becoming oily or discolored. Allow it to dry fully before using the item. Regular conditioning can help prevent cracking and maintain the leather's suppleness and appearance.
