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

Margaret Qualley is opening up about the long-lasting effects she suffered while filming for 'The Substance.' The actress, who plays Sue in the body horror film, recently shared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that her skin was damaged for nearly a year after filming wrapped.

Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore were both transformed for their roles in 'The Substance.' According to Qualley, it took her "probably a year to recover physically from all of it."

In 'The Substance,' Margaret Qualley wore a mountain of facial prosthetics, which had a detrimental effect on her face.

Her costar, Demi Moore, previously revealed that her prosthetics work could take over nine hours a day — with up to 14 pieces “glued” to her face alone.
