You can try natural creams for under the eyes to move and increase circulation in that area and to help repair the skin cells. Creams and lotions that contain some combination of the following nutrients can be helpful: hyaluronic acid, vitamin A, vitamin E, rose hips, cucumber, and green tea.<\/li><li><strong>Sleep<\/strong>\u00a0Get enough sleep<\/li><li><strong>Don&#8217;t rub<\/strong>\u00a0your eyes<\/li><li><strong>Diet:<\/strong>\u00a0Eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol, coffee, tea and caffeinated soft drinks. These go a long way in preventing circles and wrinkles.<\/li><li><strong>Don&#8217;t smoke<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Sunscreen.<\/strong>\u00a0Use a sunscreen when outside<\/li><li><strong>Possible remedies<\/strong>.<br \/>Lemon and tomato combinations can also be helpful for dark circles. Apply a mixture of lemon and tomato juice (equal parts) two times a day. Or make a paste out of 1 tsp. tomato juice, 1\/2 tsp. lemon juice, pinch turmeric powder, 1 tsp. flour. Apply around eyes. Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing (the turmeric may color your skin temporarily). Turmeric-pineapple paste (paste of turmeric with pineapple juice) on the skin under your eyes may help. Almond oil massaged under and around eyes at bedtime, daily for two weeks helps remove dark circles and is an excellent &#8220;skin food.&#8221;<\/li><li><strong>Purple-Gold Formula<\/strong>\u00a0is a Chinese formulation that often reduces the darkness under the eyes. It is a combination of four Chinese herbs including Lithospermum, Coiix, Licorice, and Dong Gui as well as vitamin E.<\/li><\/ul><p>&#8220;Due to continued steroid medication, I still have very severe &#8220;moon face&#8221; with horribly hooded eyes, extremely discolored eyelids and deep under eye dark circles and bags. I am told moon face will last months, maybe years. I have tried every cream and ointment I can find to help with the dark eyelids and circles\/bags &#8212; from drugstore brands to expensive names and those recommended by my Mayo dermatologist- no results, no improvements.<\/p><p>&#8220;I recently stumbled across your website during a new search for products to help with the eyelids and under eyes and ordered your Purple Gold Formula. Honestly, I had no big expectations for $18. As usual, I treated only 1 eye as directed (morning and evening) so I could gauge any improvements against the other eye. To my utter amazement and delight- after 2 days I am seeing a very noticeable improvement under the eye!&#8221; I&#8217;m writing to first thank you for the product.&#8221;<br \/>&#8211;J.W.,
