Have you ever try "flapping" your lips before and after you play? Flapping your lips helps circulate the blood. Which will probably make them feel a little better.

When my lips become just as you say yours are [which is alot since i play with braces] I play pedal tones and long notes and lip slurs and do them at different dynamic levels basically a normal warm up . If you do something similar to that and your lips still feel like "leather" put the horn away. Over use can damage the lips[apeture and embouchure] permanently and them feeling like "leather" is probably telling you that they need a break.

I hope that helps
