If you use gloves without a removable liner I recommend that you use a very thin glove liner with them.  That thin liner will absorb most of the sweat/oil from your hands.  Then you can wash the liners.  This not only helps extend the life of your gloves, but it actually keeps them warmer over time.  Once the fixed liner in an older pair of gloves absorbs enough hand perspiration it no longer keeps your hands as warm.  Of course packing out the gloves also works to eliminate warmth, but I don't think many skiers consider what the sweat and dirt are doing to their gloves on the inside.  This was pointed out to me many years ago and I've never looked back.

I use the Patagonia Capilene liners with my gloves.  I've also tried to only purchase gloves with removable liners if they're available.
