The most simple answer is a mirror. The distance from the camera to the mirror and back to the subject is optical distance. The additional optical distance will go a long way to reducing most perspective distortion in your selfies or eliminating it altogether.

PerspectivePerspective distortion is caused by very short (or, in the opposite way, very long) camera to subject distances. When the difference in distance from the camera to the subject's nose and distance to the subjects ears is an appreciable percentage of the first value, the photo looks different than our eyes and brains interpret the same face when viewing it from the same position.

Please note that there is a difference between perspective distortion, caused by the relative positions of the camera and various objects in the field of view and geometric distortion, caused by the way a lens projects a three dimensional world onto a two dimensional sensor or film.
