The 34-year-old actress prefers to keep her beauty routine to the minimum because 13-month-old Briar gets confused when she sees her face smothered in lots of products.

Rachel explained: "In my own life, it's a little bit of mascara, a little ChapStick, and I'm ready to go. Maybe I'll add a little eyeliner in there to spice things up. Maybe a little bronzer.

"If I ever have anything on - like if I have mascara on - my daughter just stares at me for, like, five minutes like, 'Who are you?' Because [makeup] has become so nonexistent, the easy things that you can do, like hydrating your lips, makes me feel a little better and look a little better.

"It's something that can give you a little pick-me-up. It's that easy and doesn't take any time."

The brunette beauty has admitted her regime has changed a lot since she became a mother last year because she doesn't have time to pamper herself like before.

She explained to PEOPLE.com: "There are days when you don't get out of your pyjamas, and showering is a rare occurrence. I'd say it's changed a lot [since becoming a mother]. Just taking care of my skin as much as possible has been the priority ... it's not about looks anymore."
