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.

In an interview on the podcast Happy Sad Confused, actress Margaret Qualley shared that the prosthetics she wore for the movie "The Substance" caused her face to break out in "absurd" acne.

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.

The Substance costume designer Emmanuelle Youchnovski revealed in an interview with Next Best Picture that one of Margaret Qualley’s outfits as Sue in the Golden Globe-nominated body horror masterpiece was inspired by the “Houdini” singer, as well as Beyoncé.

"It took me probably, like, a year to recover physically from all of it," she told a podcast about the prosthetics used in the film.

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.

During the ceremony, she presented an award with her Substance costar, Demi Moore. Qualley was also nominated for Best Supporting Female Actor, Film, for The Substance, but the trophy went to Zoë Saldaña for her role in Emilia Pérez. A winning night for women supporting women in Hollywood, indeed.
