There’s an attitude amongst some gym-rats that, after working out, it’s not particularly necessary to hit the showers. After all, it’s not like sweat is a particularly harmful substance, and there’s no need to strip all those beneficial oils away.
However, this is one of the times when showering is very much a good thing to do. If you get particularly sweaty while working out and don’t shower afterward, the sweat on your skin can trap a lot of dirt and oil in your pores, leaving it grimy and gross.
