Even Margaret Qualley can’t get the haunting visuals of “The Substance” out of her mind.

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.

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.

Here's how Beyonce and Dua Lipa inspired Margaret Qualley's 'The Substance' character, according to the film's costume designer.

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

"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.

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 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 has revealed it took a year for her skin to fully recover from wearing prosthetics in The Substance. 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.
