Question Sweaty hands

What’s the best way to deal with sweaty hands when taking notes on an iPad a16 with a USB-C Apple Pencil? I usually rest my hand on the screen although I'm not left-handed while writing. I’m thinking of getting a drawing glove or an Apple Pencil sleeve (both priced around €10), and I wanted to know if you have any recommendations available on Amazon EU. I already have a case with a holder for the Apple Pencil, so if I go with a sleeve, it needs to be as thin as possible. Do you think a glove would be enough, or should I get a sleeve too?

I read on Reddit that someone used matte and paperlike protector on their ipad to fix the problem, but I don't feel comfortable with them, so feel free to recommend good no paper-like or matte screen protectors that can help with sweaty hands too (~20€).

A drawing glove is usually the easiest and cheapest fix for sweaty hands, it keeps your palm from sticking to the screen and also helps reduce smudges.
A thin Apple Pencil sleeve can improve grip, but it won’t solve the sweaty palm issue on its own. If you want both better grip and smoother hand movement, you could combine the glove with a slim silicone sleeve.
Since you don’t want matte or paperlike protectors, you could try an oleophobic clear screen protector. It won’t change the texture much, but it helps repel oils and sweat.
