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.

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.

Margaret Qualley says her skin went through a lot while filming 'The Substance.' On Josh Horowitz’s 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, the actress opened up about the effects of wearing prosthetics for the film and how it impacted her skin.
