English term or phrase: their skin tight and their waste so thin

is using this new bio-engineered hemo-dialator stuff called XXXX to pack on muscle and this other new supplement called XXXXX to burn the fat and clean out their colon (gross I know but that's how they get their skin tight and their waste so thin).

Stesso argomento di prima, sta parlando dei divi che prendono questi integratori per avere dei fisici degni di nota.
Grazie

pelle soda e addome piatto

Explanation:
io prodigi delle bioteconologie per la fitness ;)

non penso si riferisca a vita in quanto "giro vita" ma a vita in quanto addome/pancia piatta, credo questo sia per il contesto unisex (uomini con vita sottile non sono mai stati un grande hit amoroso ;) sia per il riferimento al colon, che tipicamente in seguito a sedentarietà e cattiva alimentazione può "intasarsi" gonfiando l'addome

pelle tesa e vita sottile

Explanation:
waste e waist sono omofoni. Cè un errore di spelling.

pelle compatta e vitino da vespa

Explanation:
D'accordo con le colleghe.
Un'altra idea, se cercavi una soluzione più idiomatica.

oppure pelle "tonica", che evoca lucentezza, turgore, elasticità, ecc.

Giustamente le colleghe mi hanno "cassato" vitino da vespa, dato che si parla di "divi", quindi probabilmente uomini, oppure uomini e donne.
Rilancio con "vitino sottile".

Anzi, ritiro proprio il vitino, e vado a dare un po' di agree alle altre :-)
