What does the "SPF" in sunscreen mean anyway?

"SPF" stands for Sun Protection Factor. It applies only to ultraviolet
radiation.
Basically, the SPF is a multiple of how much time you can stay
in the sun without burning your skin.

For instance, if you burn without any sunscreen in 10 minutes,
a sunscreen with an SPF 15 would allow you to stay in the sun for
150 minutes without burning.

Does the SPF 15 or 30 have any correlation to the facial cancer?
