Sweat Fingers - Guitar Playing

Does any one know what I can apply to my fingers/hands while I play my guitar. My fingers get very moist especially when I play my electric.

Thank you

Pro golfers rub anti-perspirant on their hands before a round to soak up sweat. You might try that, but I don't know if it would be good for the strings.

Just clean the strings afterwards and in the breaks with GHS fastfret or something like that. And have a few extra picks handy in case it slips from your fingers. I sweat like a pig when I'm performing (we play Maceo-style: in full suits with ties etc) but it doesn't seem to affect my playing.
