On the strings, wash your hands before you play, and maybe just get into changing strings more often. On my main guitar, I probably change them about every 2 weeks.... there is a brand of string that are rust resistant as well - 'Elixir Nanoweb'.... They cost more, but apparently last longer (I've not used them myself though).
