Selected
fair, skinny; elegant, slim; or graceful, slender.
Definitely do not use "lean", or "light", "slight", "flimsy", or "unsubstantial", as they have rather negative connotations. Remember the movie "My Fair Lady" or 窈窕淑女?

If this is the case: 美容养颜、窈窕瘦身、舒缓减压、提振精神、轻松入眠
I would use \"body toning and slimming\".
