"I brush [my teeth] with baking soda," she tells InStyle in the magazine's September issue. "[My grandfather] would put a big heaping mound of it on his toothbrush. He had only one cavity in his entire life."

"Sometimes that's all I do as far as a regimen goes," she adds, citing her lack of personal time due to her three kids, twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus "Finn" Walter, 7, and Henry Daniel, 5. "When you're dressing three people besides yourself, something has to fall away. I've learned to always have a big pair of dark sunglasses within arm's reach before going out."
