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.
