A celebrity facial sculpting expert has revealed how you can instantly slim and sculpt your face using a simple household item: a spoon.
The secret technique was revealed in a Instagram reel last month for Jose Carrillowho has worked her magic on the faces of celebrities such as Mariska Hartigay and Camille Kostek.
Carrillo, who is based in New York City, specializes in her own “non-invasive, non-toxic facelift” called Sculptural Energetic Facial Lifting Method.
The method is not only intended to lift and sculpt the face, but also to “reach deep into the underlying facial muscles that support facial posture.”
But now, anyone can try some of her techniques with the detailed tutorial she posted, and all you need is a spoon.
Professional facial sculptor Joseph Carrillo, who has worked his magic on the faces of celebrities including Mariska Hartigay and Camille Kostek, revealed the spoon trick in a video posted to Instagram.
She’s used a spoon on superstar clients like Camille Kostek (above), Brooks Nader, Huma Abedin, Marishka Hargitay, Alex Cooper and Bethenny Frankel.
It’s a trick she’s even used on superstar clients like Kostek, Brooks Nader, Huma Abedin, Marishka Hargitay, Alex Cooper and Bethenny Frankel.
“Start by moving the liquid from the nasal labial fold up and out,” Carrillo began in the clip, as she moved the spoon in an upward motion on the side of her nose where it meets the cheek.
‘Then I take the bottom of the spoon and start moving it along the side of my face, so notice the bottom, the bottom of the spoon sliding over the top of my cheekbone, all the way down my cheekbone and up to my temple,’ she continued.
She showed viewers exactly what to do, as she carefully slid the spoon along the side of her cheekbones and under her eyes.
Next, Carrillo, who also works as a makeup artist, moved on to sculpting her cheeks.
He took the spoon and moved it from her cheek to her eye area.
Then, she took the utensil near the brow bone to begin working on lifting that area of the face.
“So I go from the side of the brow to the temple, and then I go higher up to the top of the brow,” she explained.

“The belly part of the spoon is perfect for helping tone and de-puff,” Carrillo told DailyMail.com, adding that she has performed the technique on Bethenny Frankel (above).
Carrillo explained that facial sculpting has many benefits, including improving circulation.
“And then, from under the brow muscle, lifting it up and towards the temple,” Carrillo continued.
The sculpting expert shared that it was important to press the spoon against your skin while doing this, but make sure not to hurt yourself.
Facial sculpting is typically done with a tool called gua sha, a curved massage tool that comes from an ancient Chinese healing technique. Health line.
The goal of gua sha is to help circulation and reduce swelling by scraping the skin, but Carillo found that a spoon works just as well.
The facial sculpting expert told DailyMail.com that the spoons have a great ergonomic shape, similar to that of a traditional gua sha tool.
Not only does the shape allow for “effective pressure and movement along the contours of the face,” she said, but its smooth surface allows it to move easily over the skin and avoid irritation.
“Spoons are common household items, making this technique more accessible to those who don’t have a traditional gua sha tool,” she told DailyMail.com.
‘The belly part of the spoon is perfect for helping to tone and reduce puffiness,’ Carrillo added.
‘Unlike regular gua sha, which is flat, the spoon adapts perfectly to the contours.’
But whether it’s with a gua sha tool, a spoon, or even your hands, facial sculpting can bring many benefits.
Carillo revealed to DailyMail.com that facial sculpting can improve blood circulation, reduce swelling and drain lymphatic fluids, improve facial contours, relieve tension and increase collagen production.
The goal of gua sha is to help circulation and reduce swelling by scraping the skin, but Carillo found that a spoon works just as well.
“Facial sculpting increases blood flow to the skin, enhancing its natural glow and promoting healthier skin,” she shared.
It is also advisable to do this periodically.
“Regular sculpting can help define and lift facial contours and add volume to muscles giving a more youthful appearance,” Carrillo said.
‘Facial sculpting can relieve muscle tension, reducing stress and preventing wrinkles caused by tension.’
So, next time you’re feeling a little bloated after one too many glasses of wine, grab a spoon from your china drawer – you’ll be looking better than ever in no time!
