Jake Ejercito’s love for the outdoors goes beyond the photos and videos he shares online. For the 34-year-old host and actor, hiking and traveling are not just pastimes but a way of life—a means of escape and a source of strength.
Exploring rugged trails and vast landscapes, Jake finds a sense of calm in nature. Whether trekking Japan’s ancient Kumano Kodō pilgrimage routes or navigating Scotland’s West Highland Way, he approaches each journey with a spirit of adventure, valuing experience, connection, and self-discipline.
“These hikes challenge me, not just physically but mentally,” he says. “It’s where I clear my thoughts and reset.”
Jake often brings his daughter Ellie along, turning his explorations into shared experiences that strengthen their bond. For him, the outdoors is both an adventure and a collection of stories formed along the way.
But maintaining an active lifestyle under the sun and elements comes with its own challenges. Jake takes a disciplined approach to skincare, ensuring that his rigorous activities do not take a toll on his skin. Under the care of Dr. Issa Cellona of Skincell Advanced Aesthetic Clinics, he follows a meticulous routine designed to protect and nourish his skin despite prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions.
“Jake understands the importance of skincare, especially with his lifestyle,” says Dr. Issa. “He’s consistent with sun protection, hydration, and regular treatments.”
His regimen includes thorough cleansing to remove dirt after a long day outdoors, followed by moisturizers and treatments that help maintain his skin’s resilience. He also undergoes in-clinic procedures such as laser treatments to keep his skin in top condition.
“It’s not just about looking good,” Jake says. “Taking care of your skin is part of overall health and well-being.”
