Jake Ejercito, a name synonymous with showbiz royalty in the Philippine entertainment scene, has captured attention not only with his onscreen performances but also with his off-screen life.

Jake's passion for travel, documenting his hiking adventures amid the great outdoors, has become the signature style of his public persona, inspiring many to follow a healthy and active lifestyle.

His love for travel and the outdoors is palpable in his Instagram account (@unoemilio), where he shares a preview of life from various corners of the world.

From the tranquil plains to the majestic highlands, his adventures are not just about escaping the daily grind but also about seeking new experiences, cultures, and landscapes.

His journeys often include his daughter Ellie, showcasing his commitment to family time and bonding through exploration and adventure.

But these trips aren’t just any ordinary vacation; they’re woven into his identity, emphasizing his belief in life’s journey as a path to growth and discovery.

“The outdoors is where I find solace and strength,” shares the 34-year-old actor and adventurer.

He’s known for his love of hiking and exploring the heart of nature. Whether trekking through the ancient pilgrimage routes of Kumano Kodō or conquering Scotland’s West Highland Way in his most recent adventure, Ejercito’s activities reflect a deep-seated respect for the outdoors.

This connection with the natural world fuels his physical training and discipline; it also nurtures his mental health, offering a balance to his hectic and public life.

Jake's dedication to an active lifestyle complements his love for travel and outdoor adventures. Fitness is not just a routine for him; it’s a lifestyle choice that includes training for marathon runs. His physical activities show his versatility and commitment to staying in shape. His disciplined lifestyle is not just about looking good but feeling good, embodying a philosophy of health that transcends mere aesthetics.

However, leading an active life exposed to the sun and other elements challenges maintaining his youthful skin. Jake steps up his game with a meticulous skincare routine under the stewardship of Dr. Issa Cellona of SKINCELL Advanced Aesthetic Clinics.

“Jake has been very disciplined in following the importance of skin protection,” says Dr. Issa. “He understands the harsh effects of prolonged sun exposure and environmental stresses, especially during outdoor escapades. He advocates for the regular use of sunscreen. He also comes to the clinic often for his regular treatments.”

His routine includes cleansing to remove excess oil and grime, especially after training, followed by hydration and lasers.

“Moisturizing is key in his regimen, ensuring his skin remains supple despite the rigors of his lifestyle,” adds Dr. Issa. “He also indulges in the occasional in-clinic treatments like his favorite facials and lasers as part of his skin maintenance, acknowledging that good skin care is integral to health and longevity.”

“I am very thankful to Dr. Issa for looking after my skin,” shares Jake. “I go to SKINCELL because they are well-versed in traditional and cutting-edge skin care practices. The clinic utilizes modern aesthetic machines to address various skin concerns effectively. They use the latest laser technology, aesthetic devices for non-invasive procedures, and other state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that patients receive top-tier attention and treatment. I feel safe and secure with them.”

Jake’s lifestyle is a testament to living fully, embracing the world, and cherishing his memories in the great outdoors while maintaining health from the inside and out. His love for travel, outdoor activities, and skin care is his way of leading a holistic approach to life.

“It is one where adventure co-exists with self-care, inspiring many to explore, enjoy, and take care of themselves in equal measure,” concludes Jake.
