Age.
The verb to age has to do with growing older, but the implication is generally that the person should be relatively close to old age (i.e. children don’t normally “age”) and that it is showing in their looks.
Both “aging” and “ageing” are acceptable spellings.
“Aging” is the more usual spelling in the US, while “ageing” appears to be more frequent in the UK.
In the past, Yorkshire children were taught to write “ageing,” while New Yorkers were taught to write “aging.”
