Cleaning a leather recliner???

I have a 7-year-old leather recliner; it's comfy and clean, but it looks nasty/filthy. I use a leather cleaner and leather conditioner on it twice a year.

It's a medium brown, rough textured leather by La-Z-Boy.

It's DH's chair, and the dog, Harry, will sometimes nap on it, too.

The top cushion has a mark from DH's head. He has very short hair, and is very clean, but the skin oils have darkened the leather.

The chair arms also show dark staining from DH's hands, arms, and Harry's chin.

The leg rests are "faded." I think the legs of our jeans have buffed the color out of the leather.

What can I do to make this recliner look decent? I feel like I have to "show" people that it's clean before asking them to sit. It resembles a well-worn pair of nubuck work boots.
