My brother-in-law first introduced me to Skidmore's and I was immediately hooked when he applied it to my boots. I ordered a glass for myself, love it! It keeps the skin perfectly supple and conditioned and also eliminates chafing. I have refurbished all my shoes, leather belts and even handbags and brought them back to life. The skin will initially be a shade darker, but as the cream absorbs it will return to its original colour. I definitely recommend (and already have!) this product.
