Hollywood star Margaret Qualley has revealed that the prosthetics she wore in the critically-acclaimed horror movie “The Substance” caused so much damage to her skin that it took about a year to recover.

The actress, who stars alongside Demi Moore in the body horror film, says it took "probably a year" for her skin to recover.

What was not particularly intended to be a box office blockbuster has become very much so, and both the Maid actress and her co-star Demi Moore have enjoyed plenty of awards season buzz, with the latter earning her first major Hollywood award after over 40 years in the industry.

Margaret Qualley is proving she’s a Hollywood force in her own right. As if her striking features, raven hair and charming smile weren’t enough to showcase that she was destined for the screen, her acting chops and rapidly growing resume should be.

The Leftovers actress has admitted wearing heavy prosthetics for the body horror took a major toll on her skin and the resulting acne forced the filmmaking team to get more creative with their shots.
