The 22mm (35mm equivalent) is all one needs to take self portraits. Any wider than that and you run the risk of serious distortions for portraits. For many great portrait photographers were legends - It was considered a standard focal length for a wide perspective. The 22mm is a pancake lens...
If the selfies OP is talking about is the arm lenght type, focal distance of a lens doens't matter. All lenses will produce the same amount of facial distortion, because this kind of distortion is caused by distance, and since the distance will be the same... An arm's distance... All lenses will be the same. You can pick a 10mm or 35mm, they will render the face the same way is this scenario.
Is this also true when the face is not in the middle of the frame? For instance: 12mm is so wide it still gives you a choice where in the frame you want the face.
The nose to ear size ratio would be similar but a face on the end of a 12mm picture would be widened by being reduced to two dimensions and a head near the corner of the of the image would be stretched like a rugby ball. A fisheye lens would be kinder.
