Spanish term or phrase: piel tirante
Buenos días.

Me gustaría saber cómo traducir al inglés "piel tirante" pues, a mi parecer, "tight skin" es "piel tersa". ¿Qué término correspondería a "tirante"?

En español, "terso" es una cualidad positiva y "tirante", negativa. ¿Cómo expreso esto en inglés?

Gracias.
