How to clean your shoes. Facial skin is not the only one that needs hydration after a hard day.

Shoes that are worn several times a week should be polished with cream at least once a week.

Glasgow believes that the more effort you put into shoe care, the more you'll be rewarded. The more you care about it, the more it cares about you.
